Leave your thoughts about American Assassin.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's not that "American Assassin" suddenly goes stupid, it's already there, but in its hunger to dazzle the audience, it becomes generic, hacky, and noisy. |
| Las Vegas Review-JournalChristopher LawrenceAmerican Assassin isn't up to Keaton's recent standards. It's closer to the movies he was cranking out while crawling back to the A-list after "Batman Returns." But he still makes the thriller worth a look, if only just. |
| The Ooh TrayEd WhitfieldWatching American Assassin gives you a dose of the mid-budget blues. |
| The Patriot LedgerDana Barbuto"American Assassin" is nothing you haven't seen before. |
| Detroit NewsAdam Graham"American Assassin" is bogged down by its contrived, empty-headed script (credited to four screenwriters and less than the sum of its parts) and its macho chest beating. |
| Behind The LensDebbie Lynn EliasIntense! Engrossing! Enthralling! Riveting! Edge of your seat intrigue! This is the stuff from which spy movies and action thrillers are made! What a ride! AMERICAN ASSASSIN is non-stop heart-pounding exhilaration and suspense! |
| CBRKristy PuchkoAmerican Assassin attempts to lazily loops in hot topics like nuclear war, terrorism and "fake news" to trick audiences into thinking its fresh or relevant. It's neither. |
| The ListKaren KrizanovichWhat some will find a surprisingly unpredictable, action-packed bit of entertainment, others may find a politically dubious gun-and-bomb party, but this is one of the freshest political thrillers in years. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThe film is an entertaining introduction to Rapp, whose final scene implies that he has a lot more retaliation to inflict. He could become a brand-name mainstay of the American superspy market for decades to come. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekDespite the updating, the movie is essentially a boilerplate action flick following a template that hasn't changed much for decades, and while efficiently made, it holds no surprises. |
