À propos de ce film

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.

Notes et avis

Is a fast paced to the point action thriller. It has beautiful visuals but that is where the positives end. If you want a true to book story you will be disappointed as it mixes and matches several stories and takes its own massive liberties in Rapp's character development and backstory. You want to root for them but the movie doesn't do much to make you care much. Not sure how they will build it into a quality franchise without a reboot.

It wasA.)HORRIBLE & B.) a head movie trying to stìmuĺate the mind intò the innermost reasons of why we engage in terrorism wìth little to ño action scenes using older marquee actors wìth undiscovered or new actors.... bad story - overtold with nothing new to offer - thoughtless and cheap don't waste $$$ on this, JUST A BAD STORY POORLY ACTED

If you love the books steer clear of this disaster. Total Hollywood hatchet job on the character of Mitch Rapp. Its Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher part 2. Mitch Rapp is supposed to look like he is from the Middle East and they get the whitest guy they could find who stands out like a sore thumb in the desert. Quite frankly they make Rapp unlikable they way they developed his character with little redeeming quality. I literally skipped to the end just to say I saw how it ended.
