American Assassin
The secret mercenary of the CIA Mitch Rapp is crushed by the bride's loss as a result of the terrorist attack. The deputy director of the CIA appoints Stan Hurley to train a grief-stricken but seriously-minded Mitch to prevent terrorist operations and hunt criminals. Together they explore a wave, at first glance, of random attacks on military and civilian objects. But later the partners will have to unite with the Turkish agent in order to prevent the beginning of the Third World War in the Middle East.

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

American Assassin is not what it pretends to be.

[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.

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

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

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

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

Director Michael Cuesta adds little of notice to the proceedings.

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.

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.
