It has now been renamed &ldquo;(Re)Assignment&rdquo;. Apparently &ldquo;Tomboy&rdquo; was to insensitive of a title. Written and directed by Walter Hill (from a story by Denis Hamill), the film centers on an expert assassin who is double-crossed and transformed into a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">woman<\/a> (Rodriguez) by a rogue surgeon (Sigourney Weaver), and then sets out for vengeance.
