Assassin Robert Rath arrives at a funeral to kill a prominent mobster, only to witness rival hired gun Miguel Bain complete the job for him, with grisly results. Robert wants to fulfill a few more contracts before retiring but Miguel Bain keeps killing Rath's targets.
An unusually serious, almost sombre thriller from the versatile action producer Joel Silver in which Stallone's a jaded assassin haunted by the past but unable to face the future.
Although he lets Assassins run on too long, Mr. Donner gives it a dependably slick big-budget style.
