#Assassin Club Will Unite Henry Golding, Noomi Rapace, And Sam Neill For A New Action Movie

“Assassin Club” is produced by FBI. Film Bridge International, that is, not the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Deadline notes that FBI has a shark-attack thriller, “The Requin,” starring Alicia Silverstone on its docket for 2022. It also lists a couple of other thrillers as previous credits: “Spinning Man,” starring Pierce Brosnan, Guy Pearce, and Minnie Driver, and “Misconduct,” starring Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino, and Josh Duhamel.

I’ll be honest: I had never heard of “Spinning Man” or “Misconduct,” and it amazes me that there’s a movie out there with Hopkins and Pacino that isn’t more well-known. Maybe it’s because “Misconduct” has a 7% Tomatometer rating that it just sort of came and went. Still, it feels like a pairing of two old-school heavyweights would have been a much bigger deal twenty years ago or so when the market wasn’t so flooded with streaming entertainment, and the line between theatrical releases and direct-to-video movies wasn’t so blurred. 

It’s always surprising to scroll through your streaming options and see a film with a star-studded cast that you’ve never even heard about. With “Assassin Club,” at least, we’ve got an early advantage in tracking it, so if you’re a fan of any of these actors — Golding, Rapace, Neill, or Melchior — keep it on your radar, and let’s hope for the best in terms of how the movie actually turns out.
