    • Goofs
      A member of an assassination team is being pursued down a hall by one of the senator's security detail. Between them, five people step out of an elevator into the hallway. The bad guy turns and fires his gun in their direction - only two shots - as they all dive or fall to the floor, before the security man guns him down. In the next shot, all 5 bystanders are on the floor, either dead or dying, with pools of blood visible below three of them.

    Worst movie ever!
    This movie is #1 in the list of worst movies I have ever seen, with "Lessons for an Assassin" on the #2 spot.

    The acting is lousy (sorry, Sandra Bullock, but even your performance was horrible!), the music score could have come from a bad x-rated movie and the story was downright ridiculous. It had this in common with a typical action movie: the dialogues were short and consisted mainly of one-syllable words. But contrary to the average action movie, there was no real action in this one. Boring.

    The only reason I continued watching it was in the hopes that at one point, there would be at least one interesting scene in this movie ...

    Thumbs down on this one.
