True Memoirs of an International Assassin (2016)

This film tells the story of a man who struggles to write his first novel, which is about an assassin. When his book is released, his agent promoted his novel as a true story. Venezuelans abduct him and hence he gets involved in coups and assassination plans involving multiple fractions of the country.

This is the first film I watched in 4K on my TV, and the picture quality is crystal clear. Yet, the mesmerising picture quality does not make up for the silly story. What happens in the story is very unrealistic and at times downright silly. However, there are a few moments when it is funny, such as the two CIA agents chatting in their office about the author. "True Memoirs of an International Assassin" is made to be a genuine brain-off entertainment.

Fmovies: This is honestly the representation of if Spy and Paul Blart Mall Cop procreated at a one star motel one hazy night and created this. I enjoyed the unique shots but I'm on the bend of whether or not this can be classed as a serious film rather than a streaming site action comedy. Also, the plot seemed to ultimately go nowhere? Besides that, the lines the main character said for the comedic bits were super cheesy. But, what really, really, ground my gears was the shitty CGI. You can tell exactly where the green screen was because the characters were very high def and the added backgrounds or whatnot looked really poor. The blending of the two wasn't properly added and spoiled the whole thing.

Obviously it's not great, but it's definitely totally fine, give it a watch!

I love Kevin James, I'll watch anything with this guy in it. Do you like other movies with Kevin James? Because this is another one. The action is well done and I laughed out loud a few times. There are worse ways to spend a Friday night, I promise.

Kevin James is a writer who people think is actually an assassin but he's so good at writing he becomes the assassin. Someone truly zany came up with this one and it's laugh out loud wild ride funny. It also happens to be shot super nice, which is a total plus!

Seriously, it's on Netflix streaming right now, what are you waiting for?!

True Memoirs of an International Assassin fmovies. This is a very violent movie but its violence is that of a Tom and Jerry cartoon. It's a farce, a satire, a send-up with lots of hidden gags and visual puns. The lead character is a timid author who writes a fictional story in the first person about an international assassin. After his agent changes the title to TRUE memoirs etc. etc., it becomes a best seller and people start thinking it's a real biography and our author/hero ends up assassinating the president of Venezuela. Why they hit on Venezuela rather than some fictional Latin American country is puzzling because it is the butt of any number of jokes, insults and clichés. Not a great movie but it's a clever plot and there are a lot of laughs.

First off, this is a good movie. This is an entertaining movie. This is a funny movie. This is a movie that makes you smile.

No, this isn't the best movie of all time and no it's not going to win an Oscar. But, actually Andy Garcia puts in a very notable performance. He makes his character come alive. Garcia obviously comes from the school of thought, "There are no small roles."

There is an innocent quality to this movie and I think above all else this is the reason I was left with such a good feeling while watching it. The story moves along well and at a good pace. The story is also believable, for the most part. There are a couple of times in the plot where the movie is asking us to suspend our disbelief a bit too much, but by the time this happens the story worked in some conveniences which makes this more palatable.

This isn't a perfect movie, but the bottom line is: it is very enjoyable and well made. It knows what it is and doesn't over extend it's reach. And as far as the Netflix original movies with Adam Sandler's company go: it was the best so far!

I also feel this movie would have done very well in the box office if it was in theaters.

It has comedy, it has action, romance and good story telling. It's a clever, little lighthearted movie and it deserves a higher rating then it got on here. I honestly feel people are forgetting how to review movies. A movie doesn't have to be dark or brilliant to be good.

I mean seriously, you have films like Bond, MI and Borne and while all those bring training and other stuff to the table, at the end of the day for us moviegoers it's all about entertainment, at least IMO...

Nothing against those more serious movie types but at times the seriousness of them and the probability of something bad happening at any time is high, thus the belivability starts to decline, again at least IMO.

A movie like this works for me, it's plucky, humorous, doesn't take itself serious yet delivers on action and to some degree certain moments of suspense.

Is this a movie I'm going to remember 10 years down the road? No... But it was a worthwhile watch for the hear and now
