The Assignment

This instant pile of garbage is having a special showing with the director? Just because someone is in the Fast and Furious franchise, doesn't mean they they can make anything out of it. It's going to be an instant How Did This Get Made podcast with so many questions on just how the Hell a sex-change assassin movie with no class came out. From the same company that gave us the Power Ranger movie?
*Michelle Rodriguez Picked Her Own Prosthetic Penis and Went on Tinder During 'The Assignment'
*Discussion following with director Walter Hill
Director Walter Hill gives the revenge film a modern neo-noir twist with this electrifying thriller. Hitman Frank Kitchen (Michelle Rodriguez) is given a lethal assignment, but after being double-crossed, discovers he’s no longer the man he was. Having been surgically altered, Frank now has the body of a woman. Seeking vengeance, he heads for a showdown with his assailant (Sigourney Weaver), a brilliant surgeon with a chilling agenda of her own.
