American Assassin

Whoever hired these hacks took great writing and turn it in to this crap. Did the writers even read the books? This is one of the most horrendous book to movie conversions ever. The producers should be ashamed, embarrassed and to be honest I don’t think they let on a movie set ever again. I am saddened, this terrible joke has probably ruined what could have been a movie legacy.

This movie truly could of been decent if it had no connection to the Mitch Rapp Series... but the fact that they changed almost every aspect of it from book... very disappointed i understand its hard to pack in the information from book into a movie but this is just terrible... Maybe next time make into a tv show... you have enough content for almost 20 seasons

Fell alseep on,y couch and woke up to a scene from this movie about a month ago. Ive literally watched this movie close to 50 times since then.

If you like Vince Flynn novels, this is where they begin. Good action and fight scenes.

Saw the film. How is an arms deal for nukes more dangerous than islamic terrorists? I see more muslim terrorism than nukes going off in the real world. A stupid movie that could have addressed islamic terrorism instead of going into a nuke storyline. Cop-out for the safety of a nuke story.

The book was great, the movie was way too different than the book. They should have made it more like the book, that would not have been too difficult.

This movie is excellent, both for fans of Rapp from the books and fans of action movies. Stays true to who Rapp is and has some freedom to grow him from the beginning.

My new favorite movie

Big time Vince Flynn fan, especially of the Mitch Rapp series. So I was super excited to discover someone FINALLY made a film adaptation of American Assassin. Having read the book prior to watching this movie I can honestly say the movie did NOT remotely follow the original story line. The book is wayyyy better! The movie story line was okay. There’s a lot of action, fighting scenes and tense moments to keep viewers entertained. I think the casting could have been better selected. I’d recommend watching the movie first then reading the book (I think my preconceptions ruined the movie for me and set the standard high). Hopefully, another director will give this series another shoot and stay closer to the original storyline to attract and retain Mitch Rapp fans.

I had really high hopes for this movie bc I loved the books. Micheal Keaton did a great job! The guy playing Mitch was good enough I guess ( could have been better). My 2 biggest complaints actor wise was the bad guy I don’t even know his name he sucked so bad and Irene Kennedy, idk who thought she was a good pick but they need to be fired for these two actors. I know movies never follow books very well but it wasn’t written very good and to much stuff left out. I do hope for another one and I do hope for a better one!
