Why isn't the useless movie in English or at least have English Subtitles?

MR THOMAS RENNER IS SSS TIER ACTOR. BRAVO AND FLOWERS TO A OSCAR WORTHY ACTOR LIKE HIM. HIS ACTING WAS CHEFS KISS OF BEAUTY. HIS CHARACTER AND DIALOGUE HAD TO BE THE BEST HE HAS EVER PUT. THE OTHER CHARACTERS WERE FINE BUT THIS RENNER GUY IS THE BEST CHARACTER. THE CHEMIST IS THE BEST MOVIE DUE TO MR THOMAS RENNER ACTING. THE ONLY SMALL PROBLEM I HAVE OF THIS MOVIE IS MR THOMAS RENNER WAS ONLY THERE FOR A SHORT TIME AND THAT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I WANTED MORE OF HIM. MATTER OF FACT, THE DIRECTORS SHOULD HAVE MADE MR THOMAS RENNER THE STAR OF THE MOVIE NOT SOME RANDOM PERSON NOBODY KNOWS. SO, INCREDIBLE CHARACTER IN THE PLANET.

Pointless story with horrible camera work. A mess of performances by actors who over perform for their roles where they should under perform.
Poor choreography for fight scenes, poor color for nightclub shots. Choppy editing and overuse of lens flare filter.
This movie is fine for a film student project, but as a production for rent or to buy is very poorly balanced.
Nothing is memorable and outstanding in any department for any reason.
If you have time to waste like I do this morning, then it's OK - but there certainly are better films out there.
The only spoiler I will give you is that you choose a better film because this as an action/suspense movie is heading towards the sucky pile.
While it's not the worst one made, it's not close to the best and it's not ever going to be.

Ronus Steele (Olivier Gruner) is a paid assassin who gets his "hits" sent to him on his tablet. Apparently there is enough people who need killing in one town to keep him busy as he has to take on a "psycho" apprentice (Steven Dell) who has a girlfriend (Nina Bergman) turned on by killing. Ronus uses chemicals to kill his victims (I liked the working title "The Chemist" better) but there is also a lot of hand to hand fighting as well as a cat fight.
Ronus has little personality unlike his apprentice Blaine. The plot takes a twist, not too complicated, even Seagal fans should be able to follow it. Nothing overly special. Decent soundtrack and fight sequences.
Swearing, sex, and nudity (Nina Bergman)

There is 102 minutes of wasted time, that I will never see again!
It is not that often that I feel compelled to write a review, but this is undoubtedly the crappiest action movie I have seen in decades. Assassin X makes all the later Steven Seagal, Dolph Lundgreen and JC Van Damme movies seem like Oscar worthy epic movies.
In Assassin X we are graced with a whole slew of unknown actors and the result speaks for itself. Not only is the acting dreadful, one could find better and more gifted actors by throwing a dart at any local community theater anywhere in the country, but the script is a total dud.
The story line did have potential but for whatever reason the script just isn't well executed and so the whole movie took a nosedive.

Lackluster action movie with terrible direction. The overuse of slow mo, poor editing, flash backs you don't realize are flashbacks. Horrible acting , the female lead really hams it up in the face acting department . Gruner looks like he is sleep walking . However Patrick Kilpatrick makes for a good villain. Fight choreography is for the most part quite flat. A couple of OK if generic plot ideas and Kilpatrick's villain can't save it.
For some reason it has a few seconds of pointless cameos in it for a seemingly unrelated scene. Overall it does have some so bad it's funny moments, but is completely forgettable 3/10

There isn't much to say about this film, that's because there isn't much behind the coast's acting ability, fight scene training, or story writers. What a waste of everyone's time

But I don't blame any of the actors. The producer and director should have thrown this out once they read the script.so that pretty much tells me of their skill in making this a movie. I've seen worse movies but I don't remember what they were, this would certainly rank with the ultimate bottom. No sense in wasting anymore of my time with this review.
