Despite its rockstar cast, this 1995 thriller directed by Richard Donner is a far cry from either 'Bound' or 'The Matrix.'
The Wachowskis are known not only for creating one of the most important action and science fiction films of all time, The Matrix but also for the personal themes of queerness and otherness that run through almost all of their work. Ironically, you'll be hard-pressed to find a straighter, more stereotypically-gendered film than their earliest screenwriting credit, 1995's Assassins starring Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, and Julianne Moore and directed by Richard Donner.
On the other end of the spectrum, Richard Donner had nothing but positive feelings about the movie. While Donner believed it was one of Stallone's best performances, it earned him a Golden Raspberry, or Razzie, Nomination for worst actor. Assassins only holds a 16% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and a slightly more generous audience score of 45%. It's easy to see why so few people defend this movie as it is essentially devoid of any personality and the plot is incomprehensible.
The Wachowskis as screenwriters are also known primarily for having very complex characters that often struggle with identity and finding a place in their world. The characters in Assassins in contrast are painfully superficial and have absolutely nothing in common with any of the characters in their more noteworthy films. The characters don't feel like they have any deeper feelings or experiences.
Sometimes the line between good and bad in their films is harder to differentiate, as in Speed Racer, which is essentially the cinematic equivalent of hyper pop and is now viewed as a kind of maximalist art film. Speed Racer's earned praise over the years, most notably gaining the director of John Wick's approval! It's become a cult classic of the highest order and is considered by many as way ahead of its time.
