I liked this movie. I never nic pic at movies. Or make comparisons with how the novel was written. If there is one. Even though I know I would have enjoyed the read on this one. I don't even compare from one movie to the other. I'm either going to like it or not. So I liked this movie. And will watch again. Yes there are lots of assassin movies out there. Each one represents it's own self. Some good some should have not been made. This is one I'm glad to see.
