“Asher” (*1/2 out of four) was a dreary hodgepodge starring Ron Perlman as an over-the-hill hitman who embarks on one last job which puts him in the crosspath of his former lover (Famke Jansen) and various other underworld figures who want both of them silenced. Perlman is good as always and does everything he can to give this some personality but he is enable to envilen or enrich the proceedings which soon grind to a halt. A disappointment from director Michael Caton Jones who gave us far smoother and richer genre material in “This Boy’s Life”, “Memphis Belle”, and “Doc Hollywood.”
