Assassin Trailers

A retired agent from an Intelligence Agency is contacted by the Agency in order to stop an ultra-secret robot who is killing some government officials. That will be not an easy task, because the robot looks human and it was specifically built to be an efficient killer, not to mention that it is almost invulnerable.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A lame TV movie version of Terminator - sorta. We have a robot that looks human that goes around killing people he's programmed to kill. And it's a very boring film. Mainly a bunch of talk with some action scenes thrown in for some so called excitement.I have no clue as to the type of film they used to film this movie with but it looks dark and dirty, just dingy looking. A drab film quality to go with a drab story - I guess it works well together.This is not a film that Terminator fans should seek out - it's not nearly as exciting nor is it a quality film like Terminator. Instead it's just a lame, boring made for TV movie. If you miss this one, you aren't missing anything at all but some ugly 1980s hairstyles and clothing.1/10

An ex-CIA operative is convinced by his old boss to return to action one last time to help track down a rogue agent who is going around killing people connected with the Agency. The only trouble is that the said agent is seemingly a lethally designed cyborg.This is a mid-80's TV movie, so it's probably fair to say that expectations should be lowered accordingly. Seeing as it was released in 1986, it's only fair to surmise that it derives much of its influence from the recent smash hit film The Terminator. Obviously, it's a very poor man's Terminator though. But its combination of sci-fi with paranoid political intrigue was not such a bad concoction to be fair. It's delivered with just enough effort to ensure it's watchable. But it's best to accept in advance that the thrills on offer in this one are of the bargain basement variety.

Man this had so many actors that I was familiar with that I thought this would a decent movie, well not so much. It is pretty trite and the plot line is easy enough to figure out. A retired agent (Conrad) is lured out of retirement to pursue, wait for it, a robot assassin. This robot is targeting a list of assassination targets since his maker has died. Karen Austen plays Mary Casallas as the female lead and of course she ends up becoming Conrad's love interest down the line, she is an agent who worked with the robot designer when he was designing and building the robot. They finally find the journals the scientist has left behind in a hidden storage unit. Using the information obtained from the journals and Mary's insights They eventually trap the robot in a sealed room where he self destructs.

Rugged former secret government agent Henry Stanton (a fine performance by Robert Conrad) gets called out of retirement by the agency he used to work for to stop crafty, lethal and resourceful renegade cyborg assassin Robert Golem (nicely essayed with smooth intensity by Richard Young). Shrewd'n'sassy scientist Mary Casallas (winningly played by the fetching Karen Austin) helps Stanton out. Writer/director Sandor Stern relates the involving plot at a snappy pace, develops a good deal of tension, stages the action scenes with considerable aplomb, and further spices things up with a slyly amusing sense of deadpan humor. Conrad and Austin display a pleasingly casual and engaging rapport as the likable lead characters; they receive excellent support from Robert Webber as Stanton's huffy, slippery superior Calvin Lantz, Jonathan Banks as Lantz's steely partner Earl Dickman, Jessica Nelson as alluring, unsuspecting barroom pick-up Ann Walsh, and Nancy Lenehan as Mary's steady gal pal Grace Decker. Moreover, the violence is surprisingly rough and brutal stuff for a made-for-TV feature. Chuck Arnold's polished cinematography does the trick while Anthony Guefen supplies an effectively groovy'n'moody score and the special effects are pretty nifty and convincing. A neat little item.
