The Assassination Bureau

Oliver Reed and Diana Rigg head an impeccable cast in The Assassination Bureau, a spirited caper inspired by a book co-written by Jack London.

Reed plays Ivan, the self-confident chief of an association of hitmen for hire, who will refuse no well-paid offer - especially the lucrative challenge of an aspiring reporter (Rigg). Reasoning that a running cat-and-mouse duel with his henchmen will rid the organisation of incompetents, Ivan agrees to become the object of a nonstop hunt. The game is afoot...and Europe is the playground!

The Assassination Bureau is a lavishly produced comic send-up with unforgettable performances from Reed and Rigg.

First released: Wednesday 27th October 2021
