Steineded How sad is this?

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

rb-67895 I don't understand, it seems getting a film made is really, really hard to do - even for the best directors/writers. So who signed this writing off? It's the most implausible film since the Bond films of the 70's, in fact it makes these Bond films look like documentaries. A decent cast, great production values, but ridiculous plot lines throughout. "Ooh, I'm gonna go online and track down a terrorist cell, then I'll meet the top guy in the first meeting. Then I'll be a maverick CIA man, in no time at all. I don't follow orders, my gut feeling is better, every time." Surely this is what 8 year old boys play out, not for big budget movie-making. This was the only film I had downloaded to my device while on a flight, I'd finished my book and read the duty-free leaflet 4 times, otherwise I wouldn't have persisted with this joke of a film.

assieyamin Can believe this could happen in real life, the main guys are really good and I believed the pain they felt, the action and fighting is very real hard to watch at times, as it's so real, but I loved this film. I did not want it to end to be honest, it's a very good, spy, action, drama film etc

graham2239 I'll watch any old straight-to-video rubbish, and the sheer pleasure of seeing a movie put together will get me to cough up 2 stars. I reserve 1 star ratings for films that actually make me angry, and despite the presence of some good actors American Assassin did that.Adding nothing to the stock of films of this type already available, it adds sickening violence and unpleasant torture, and eventually I just gave up.

cwill859 O'Brien impressed in the role, he fits the character. However, the writing needs major work. The plot contains gaping holes and does not convey much of a linear story. The movie was poorly adapted from the novels. With that being said, the actors flourished within their roles to offset the lack of story. The production value, particularly the stunts, were very impressive. The hand to hand combat was well acted. My hope is that the next movie in the franchise will have a much better plot. Wait until it is optioned for tv, but don't pay money to see this movie.
