American Assassin
The terrorist attack had the secret CIA mercenary Mitch Rapp lose his bride, which made him crushed. Depressed but seriously minded Mitch is being appointed by the CIA deputy director to be trained by Stan Hurley for terrorism preventing operations and criminals hunting. As it may seem they investigate a wave of erratic attacks on military and civilian objects. But as the result the prevention of the Third World War in the Middle East makes the partners unite with the Turkish agent.

More than anything, though, the movie is just stupid. Which is sad, since it was directed by Michael Cuesta.

Director Michael Cuesta adds little of notice to the proceedings.

Weaving a tapestry of overused action thriller scenarios without even the courtesy of a slight variation, American Assassin is forgettable, even by the standards of the genre.

the fighting and firearms are not enough to make American Assassin more than a dumb diversion

With American Assassin, Michael Cuesta (Kill the Messenger) has made a movie where Michael Keaton bites Taylor Kitsch's ear off unspeakably boring.

There are 15 more novels in the Mitch Rapp series. Who will save us from American Assassin 2?

American Assassin is as generic an espionage thriller as you're likely to find.

There's plenty of talk about American Sins in American Assassin, but none of it changes the fact that the bad guys want to do bad things and must be stopped, so there really isn't much point to all that chatter.

[Dylan] O'Brien is grimly focused as Rapp, but there isn't a lot of electricity in his performance. He gets the job done, but he's no Matt Damon or Daniel Craig. Their spy-guy shoes remain unfilled.

Still, passive audiences seeking pure escapism will find the bare minimum of fast action and ass-kicking mandated by the movie's formula.

American Assassin is not what it pretends to be.
