YMMV / The Assignment (2016)

• Audience-Alienating Premise: The film was released in 2016, when transgender people were finally becoming unacceptable targets. As a result, the idea of a forced medical transition being played for horror/comedy (not to mention unrealistically) veered into offensive territory, with many transgender rights organizations and communities calling for a boycott.
• Magnificent Bastard: Frank Kitchen is a notorious hitman who has murdered numerous people for money. Forcibly made physically female by Dr. Rachel Jane as retribution for killing her brother, Frank seeks vengeance on Jane, killing everyone involved in his surgery before reaching Jane. When Jane captures her, Frank seduces Jane's assistant before killing him and all of Jane's other men, before Frank shoots Jane non-fatally. Frank would then stage the scenario to make it look like Jane's assistant committed the murders and frame Jane for killing her assistant, sending Jane to a psychiatric ward, while also cutting all of Jane's fingers off so that Jane will never be able to perform her heinous surgeries on anyone else ever again.
• Overshadowed by Controversy: The film is best known for the heavy criticism it received from trans activists, for the way it portrays gender reassignment (portraying an Easy Sex Change, when it's actually a difficult process many transgender people find themselves gatekeeped out of, and can take many years), and the many unfortunate implications of its premise (for example furthering the idea of someone who isn't trans somehow going through the entire process and erasing the stigma actual trans people suffer through, even when they pass).
• She Really Can Act: Michelle Rodriguez' acting chops are quite demanding in the film.
