An assassin tale which lacks interesting ideas about who its characters are, or even wish to be, Code Name Banshee is a cliché-driven, unappealing, rinse-and-repeat exercise in expended bullets, nothing more.

The whole thing is extremely straightforward. There are no twists, no turns, no surprises. The story just plays out exactly as it tells us it will. Even the “big” final act showdown (because we have to have a final act showdown) lacks pizzazz.

4/10

The by-the-numbers script by Matthew Rogers careens along, every so-called twist and turn predictable. No flair or creativity seems to have been applied to any of it.

While it's great to see King confident in a straight-up warrior role, there's so little actually going on in this flat action movie that it feels like the warmup act for a much better movie.

Code Name Banshee is a passable time-filler for action fans, but little else.

2/5

Code Name Banshee struggles to be cohesive from the start. The film plays fast and loose with timelines while using bizarre flashback cinematography. The blood-splattering gunplay offers minor thrills.

This film is like walking to the bathroom in your own home—You've done it a million times and don't need to see where you are going to find the door. Then, you lift the seat, sit on the throne, and drop an aromatic butt nugget. Which is pretty darned close to how this film ends ... except that you don't have a scented candle to light to clear the air.

The premise is interesting enough, but the ending left me with a sense of disappointment due to the story not being fully told. A few examples: If the bad guy wanted Caleb alive, why didn't he have his guys use non-lethal weapons? What actually happened during the handoff? Is Delilah's dad alive and imprisoned?

Took me 25min to watch the entire movie. I did watch the first 15min to get the plot, fast forward..watched a few more minutes, fast forward..figured out the ending. Went to the end to discover I was right & now here I am rating it. Tommy Flanagan did a great job acting as usual BUT he wasn't the main star. So it easy to say this movie sucked. 🎬

Glad I skipped around through the film. I don't know what's worse. Horror meant to be scary or horror meant to be funny.

Wasted talented portrayal of main Bandaras and Lie characters. Lots of gunfire and killing of bad guys.Main villian is killed in the end..at least justice is served Bullet style.

I found the movie to be slow moving at the beginning and it took too much time to explain things that were not relevant to the overall story. Over half the picture was very slow moving. The action was great when it started, but it took way to long to get there. Overall it is worth a watch to pass the time.
