About this movie

AMERICAN ASSASSIN follows the rise of Mitch Rapp [Dylan O'Brien]; a CIA black ops recruit under the instruction of Cold War veteran Stan Hurley [Michael Keaton]. The pair is then enlisted by CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy [Sanaa Lathan] to investigate a wave of apparently random attacks on both military and civilian targets. Together the three discover a pattern in the violence leading them to a joint mission with a lethal Turkish agent [Shiva Negar] to stop a mysterious operative [Taylor Kitsch] intent on starting a World War in the Middle East.

Ratings and reviews

Pretty horrible. The introduction of Mitch Rapp in this movie, which doesn't ring true to Flynn's creation, is quickly botched by not letting him show his bona-fides by taking out the terrorist cell he infiltrated by himself, when another ops team steals the show. I was left wondering why they even wasted the time. Such was the entire movie. Shame.

Great movie. I love movies with hot men kicking ass!😜✌
