The film opens with a killer clown ( Beau Fowler) attacking Mike Fallon (Scott Adkins ) teaser. It shows us one overblown hit as Mike retreats to his centrally located abode in Malta. Here the film copies the "Pink Panther" Cato Fong home attack with Sui Ling (Sarah Chang) who had some good lines and was able to steal scenes. Mike runs into fellow assassin Finicky Fred (Perry Benson) and they end up working together as there is a lot of work on Malta. Their world gets turned upside down when a large contract is placed on Dante Zuuzer (George Fouracres) the crybaby son of the Greek mafia crime boss Mrs. Zuuzer (Flaminia Cinque). Mike is placed in a position to guard Dante against a league of assassins or else Fred dies. One of the paid assassins is Big Ray (Ray Stevenson) Mike's dad. To make matters worse Dante swallows a tracking device. Mike ends up facing the assassins one at a time.
The film is an action comedy. Not Ryan Reynolds or Samuel L. Jackson funny, but fun enough to be lumped as a comedy. During the film they set up a lab that reminded my of "Myth Busters." With the first assassin attacker Freya Du Preeze (Zara Phythian ) there were more phantom hits than a Clay vs. Liston bout. (I finally got to use that metaphor!!!) After that it got better. Good popcorn film.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
