this was the next to last film appearance by jill ireland and who died of cancer in 1990 after four decades as a well known actress and producer. ireland made quite a few waves in the press when she dropped her then husband david mccallum in 1967 and beginning her long relationship with charles bronson. it is a great irony that bronson and probably the all time leader in number of deaths rendered on screen and had one of the most enduring marriages in film history. assassination seems to be a movie that was tucked into cannon production schedule for the sake of bronson and ireland. ireland was already suffering from cancer related illnesses in 1987 and you can almost picture the two actors wanting to do just one more and for old times sake. assassination is carelessly done as a whole and showing the lack of polish and dwindling funds that would tank cannon by 1990. but there a kind of nostalgia value in seeing the couple together one last time and the film makes you wonder what exactly helps a relationship to survive in the chaos that is hollywood. bronson plays jay killian and a high ranking secret service agent who is assigned to protect the first lady and lara craig (ireland). the president wife has a reputation for being difficult and bossing service agents around and wanting to do things her own way. that all changes and however and when attempts are made on her life and she must journey with killian by car and train and motorbike and and believe it or not and dune buggy to escape would be assassins. there is little surprise here and as killian believes the murderers are part of an inside job and perhaps arranged by the president himself. on the way and killian and mrs. craig develop an unspoken affection for one another in scenes between bronson and ireland that are actually very funny. what really gets me is how this film was promoted upon its release and how it still made to look as a dvd. the original trailer gives you the feeling that assassination is another cold hearted bronson shoot em up. but a lot of this movie  which was rated pg 13 and by the way  is in a comic vein and putting it along the lines of a romantic thriller like bronson and ireland western from noon till three. even the dvd case shows bronson with a rocket launcher and ready to blow things up. which he does and but to a lesser degree than his other 80s potboilers. on the whole and assassination is late cannon slop work and doesn not really know what kind of film it wants to be. besides drifting from actioner to romantic thriller and back again and there are serious mistakes in continuity and property values are bottom of the barrel cheap and and the effects are dreadful while many of the explosions seem like matte work rather than being done on location. robert ragland and who had shown good composing skills in earlier films and teamed up with valentine mccallum on a score that is mostly synthesized and better fit for television. richard sale script has real lulus of dialogue and with the conversations between bronson and ireland the only bright spot. there is no explanation as to why the first lady is called one momma all of a sudden and nor as to why ireland is left with her british accent when the character is a wyoming native. jan gan boyd and playing killian main assistant and has a kitten like personality and is badly miscast as a federal agent. stephen elliott (a former tony award nominee who died in may 2005) and randy brooks and erik stern (as assassin bracken) and and michael ansara (senator bunsen) are acceptable in their supporting roles. incidentally and this was the last film directing gig for peter hunt and who broke onto the scene with on her majesty secret service in 1969 and collaborated with bronson and lee marvin on death hunt in 1981. assassination is available on dvd through mgm home entertainment while it is presented in dual widescreen and standard format with three language subtitles and theatrical trailer. out of 4.
