Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"The first film to be made from the late Vince Flynn's hugely popular series of novels, AMERICAN ASSASSIN is a serviceable, workman-like thriller..." - 09/14/2017 Los Angeles Times
"AMERICAN ASSASSIN turns into a 'chosen one' narrative à la THE MATRIX for a little while, with ex-Navy SEAL Stan Hurley serving as the comically grizzled Morpheus to Mitch’s cocky Neo....It’s pretty fun in the moment." - 09/14/2017 A.V. Club
"AMERICAN ASSASSIN is an action film, a spy thriller, a meditation on revenge, and a story about mentors and pupils....O'Brien makes an effective strong-silent action hero." - 09/15/2017 RogerEbert.com
"AMERICAN ASSASSIN is a political thriller that explores some provocative ideas." - 09/14/2017 Boston Globe
