American Assassin Movie Synopsis & Plot
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.
MOVIE REVIEW
You can kill our soldiers. You can kill our children. But by God, terrorists, don’t you dare kill our sexy, young, bikini-clad women, because we will look for you, we will find you and we will kill you. In the moderately entertaining if generally vanilla action-thriller American Assassin, Dylan O’Brien plays the rebellious, emotionally scarred and highly skilled hero from every other similar action movie and Michael Keaton makes torture look fun.Read our American Assassin movie review »
