TAG: The Assassination Game plot
"This time the butler didn't do it!"
College students play a game: Tag, a game in which everyone plays a hit man, is given an assignment and has to 'kill' the victim with rubber darts. Gersh, the favorite for the win, shoots at his target, but the attack fails and Gersh uses a real gun and kills his victim. He hides the body, but has developed a taste for 'the real thing'.

This film appeared a number of times on Dutch and Belgian TV in the second half of the 1980s.
Somewhat unbelievable, strange work, but just amusing enough to keep watching, about a game played among students and where the glorious winner of the year before cannot accept the fact that he is almost immediately "shot" by some idiot and then kills him with a real gun and keeps repeating that with the next candidates on his list.
Hamilton is actually just too old for the role, but she gets away with it with her "crying face" and, due to her later Terminator role, is in fact the only attraction and probably the only reason that this film became the biggest hit in these parts a few years later. TV channel, because otherwise it's not really that good and if you didn't see it at the time and don't have any funny memories of it, you'd better skip it now, because it's now hopelessly dated and quite bland.
A fiver, or 2.5 stars.
