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.
