Amazon.co.uk Review
The intense thriller The Assignment is a work of fiction with a factual basis. Aidan Quinn stars as Annibal Ramirez, an American naval officer with a striking resemblance to real-life international terrorist Carlos "the Jackal" Sanchez, the scourge of innocent people all over the world in the 1970s and 80s. Mistaken for Sanchez by the Israeli Mossad, Ramirez is arrested but subsequently recruited by the Mossad and the CIA to pose as Sanchez and set him up as a traitor to his underwriters. Ramirez leaves his family, receives training in all aspects of Sanchez's life, and is pulled into the netherworld of terrorism and espionage. Director Christian Duguay (Screamers) wisely emphasises character growth over obligatory action, drawing compelling portraits of an American intelligence official (Donald Sutherland) preoccupied with Sanchez; his Israeli counterpart (Ben Kingsley) and Ramirez himself, a man whose identity has merged with a monster's. --Tom Keogh

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: First rate stuff! Sorry... which film?, 10 Feb 2001 By  "supervoc" - See all my reviews Luckily, it's not just the blockbusters getting the DVD treatment. This stands head-and-shoulders above many films that actually made it to the cinema. Christian Duguay ('Screamers', and if I hear one more person criticising the ending of that overlooked gem...) remains anything but a household name and that's criminal, as the guy certainly knows how to make a compelling motion picture, with characterisation high on his list of priorities. The criminally underused Quinn is extremely effective in his dual role, and first-rate support is on hand throughout. Every effort has been made to ensure that this is a believable thriller (something you don't find too often); e.g. a protracted pursuit scene seems come to an end. The hours pass by and when we catch up with our hero, so do his pursuers (they didn't go off somewhere and try to figure out Plan B - they just continue to do their job in the way that we all do.)  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
