Apprentice assassin Kaylee's (Tarah Paige) Canary Islands vacation is
cut short when her boss Roy (Armin Shimerman) informs her about a pretty
much immediate attack on the Silbadores, the group that trains their
organisation's drones in the Canary's own whistling language. The problem,
the attackers, master assassin Sork (Gary Graham) and Karla (Katherine
Munroe) use microdrones with in-built facial recognition to attack the
Silbadores, and they themselves are shielded from view by an invisibility
cloak. So it's Kaylee's task to train all the microdones on her instead of
the Silbadores, outrun them, and render the actual attackers visible. What
further complicates her task, Kaylee has a weird feeling of familiarity
when it comes to Karla ...
In many ways, continues the tradition of the first The
Assassin's Apprentice in throwing its slightly bubbly heroine into
an over-the-top adventure that at times defies logic but is fast-paced and
action-heavy enough to let us forget that and just come along for the ride
- and it's a fun ride indeed, with plenty of chases and stunts, while a
light-footed directorial effort sees to it that things aren't taken too
seriously, and the script, over-the-top as it may be, is also clever
enough to keep things grounded and not throw reason out of the window. And
with Tarah Paige doing a good job carrying the movie, you're in for some
pretty cool action entertainment.
