THE ASSIGNMENT 2 (2025) — Revenge changes you. But what if it redefines you?

In The Assignment 2 (2025), the controversial noir-thriller returns with a sharper blade and deeper psychological stakes, plunging once more into the morally jagged world of identity, vengeance, and transformation. Picking up years after the events of the original, the sequel follows the fractured aftermath of a crime no one has fully survived—least of all its victims.

Frank Kitchen (Michelle Rodriguez), once a hitman forcibly transitioned against his will by the vengeful Dr. Rachel Kay (Sigourney Weaver), has disappeared from the public eye, presumed dead by the criminal underworld. But whispers begin to surface of a masked assassin—one who knows too much, moves too precisely, and is targeting the last remnants of the syndicate that once paid for his mutilation.

Haunted by the trauma of forced change and consumed by existential doubt, Frank resurfaces with a new name, a new face, and a relentless new mission: find the people behind the doctor’s funding—and uncover the dark experiment that his own transformation may have been just one part of. But Rachel Kay is not finished either. Incarcerated but unrepentant, she offers a chilling warning: what happened to Frank was only the prototype.

As new assassins rise, corporate biotech secrets unravel, and allies turn into informants, The Assignment 2 forces its characters to confront not only what’s been done to them—but who they've become in the process. What begins as revenge turns into a war of identity, and the final question isn’t who did this… it’s what’s left of you when they’re done.

Directed by Walter Hill in a bold, brooding return, the film leans fully into neo-noir aesthetics—sharp shadows, neon scars, and moral decay. With an unapologetic performance from Rodriguez and a razor-edged script, The Assignment 2 doesn’t ask for your approval. It demands your reckoning.
