This film was just about passable. I gave it 4/10 (2*) for the scenery it had on offer, because other than that the film was damn right ugly. The script/dialogue - terrible, the acting- abysmal, the characterisation - non-existent. Do not watch this film unless you like hiking, as that seems to be the only area where the makers of this film intended to reflect something credibly. The actual assassin/contract killer business is represented very limply indeed and is hardly the cut throat, excited world one might think it to be (Go check out 'Wanted' instead, which is also about assassins and stars Morgan Freeman, but unlike this film is actually good) - very uninspiring. As for the main two actors, who's involvement had made me interested in this film in the first place, well...Morgan Freeman just about manages to save his reputation in spite of the weakly written script he is evidently working from and Cusacks not too bad, if a little stuck in his stereotypical I'm a former policemen/Joe Bloggs hero role. As for the rest of the cast, like I said before - blo*dy awful.
So, to conclude, would I recommend this film - simply put - no way. I've just put my copy in the trash - as that's the only place this film belongs.
