Assassins is a 1995 action thriller film written by Andy and Larry Wachowski and Brian Helgeland, directed by Richard Donner, and starring Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, and Julianne Moore. Robert Rath is a paid assassin who wants nothing more than to get out of 'the business', haunted by the memory of murdering his own mentor Nicolai years ago. Rath is a quiet, morose professional who is on an assignment to kill someone when someone else gets to the 'mark' before he does. That person turns out to be Miguel Bain, a fellow assassin and a competitive psychopath. Rath then has the... trouble of trying to figure out who sent Bain, the contractor offers him one last job that could financially allow him to retire—killing the four Dutch buyers and the computer hacker named Electra and retrieve a disk that contains sensitive information. Electra has set up cameras in all the rooms of the apartment block where she lives and watches them like watching television. The problem is that Bain is assigned to kill Electra as well. Bain kills the four Dutch buyers which turn out to be Interpol agents and Rath comes to kill Electra but for the first time has a change of heart.
