Assassin Movies - Assassins, The Professional, Hitman

The Salty Nerds accept a contract to watch three Assassin movies of varying quality and then argue about them. Will there be any survivors of this cinematic bloodbath?

First up is the Richard Donner directed movie Assassins, starring Sylvester Stallone and an incredibly overacting Antonio Banderas in a movie written by the Wachowskis that's just as bad as you think it is.

The next movie is the Luc Besson classic, Leon: The Professional. Starring Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, and the first film of a young Natalie Portman, this movie is a revenge tale/love story about a bad-ass hitman and the underage girl who falls in love with him.

Finally, we get the video game adaptation, Hitman - starring everyone's favorite badass, Timothy Olyphant. Yes, the movie makes no sense, but Olga Kurylenko is so hot, who cares?

What did you think of these assassin movies? Did you love them? Hate them? Are there other assassin movies you think are better? Let us know in the comments!
