ASSASSINAUT is written & directed by Drew Bolduc, starring Vito Trigo (Return to Nuke ‘Em High), Johnathan Newport (Permanent), Shannon Hutchinson, Jasmina Parent, & Yael Haskal.
Synopsis: In the near future, aliens have invaded Earth and declared a galactic war resulting in thousands of human casualties. To save Earth, a team of four teenage astronauts brave the alien wilderness of a distant planet to stop an assassin from changing the course of history forever.
What initially seemed like a solid opening drastically fell short and completely underwhelmed my expectations. Now, I ponder upon so many questions: (e.g., If there is a alien based “galactic war,” why would there even need to be a sole assassin? And if there just so happens to be an assassin hidden within the wilderness, why on earth would there be a need to involve Aliens?! Both of these tropes seem out of place and I do not believe that they will blend well together.
