A risky movie to make, people on both ends of the political spectrum are going to have things to say about The Assignment without ever having seen it, of that I have no doubt. But personally, and trying to put all that aside, The Assignment is actually halfway decent. It uses a couple of tropes I don't enjoy, for instance it has not one but two separate point of view framing devices, and I got the distinct impression that Sigourney Weaver was only there for maybe one full day of shooting, but I still was able to engage in the story, which was certainly one I hadn't seen on screen before.
Between this and Inconceivable I'm having a great month for film titles that are super inappropriate puns.
Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
