Review of American Assassin (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 17 Oct 2017

Review of American Assassin (2017)

By Nathan Osborne (34) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 16 Oct 2017

Review of American Assassin (2017)

By Sarah Marrs (566) for Lainey Gossip (399) on 15 Oct 2017

Assassin's Creed is both completely nonsensical and dead boring. The video game curse remains unbroken…

Review of American Assassin (2017)

By Larushka Ivan-Zadeh (441) for Metro (UK) (700) on 10 Oct 2017

With a generic title like American Assassin, this sounds like a Chuck Norris straight-to-DVD action flick. It's only a slight upgrade…

Review of American Assassin (2017)

By Fico Cangiano (235) for CineXpress (235) on 10 Oct 2017

O'Brien and Keaton manage to make decent fun out of this generic spy thriller. [Full review in Spanish]…

Review of American Assassin (2017)

By William Venegas (102) for La Nación (Costa Rica) (102) on 04 Oct 2017

Review of American Assassin (2017)

In a multiplex environment in which even comic book superheroes are psychologically complex, American Assassin misses its target by a surprisingly…

Review of American Assassin (2017)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 27 Sep 2017

O'Brien has an acceptable (albeit modest) level of charisma, Keaton adds gritty gravitas, and Cuesta keeps it all clipping along…

Review of American Assassin (2017)

American Assassin is a decently made tour of Europe, utilising easy target villains to maximise cheering from audiences willing to accept diplomacy…

Review of American Assassin (2017)

By Luis Fernando Galván (195) for En Filme (289) on 26 Sep 2017

The spy plot gets overshadowed by the cast's one-dimensional performances. [Full review in Spanish]…

Review of American Assassin (2017)

By Ben Sin (27) for South China Morning Post (665) on 25 Sep 2017

It's hard to gauge whether [this] is a shallow tale lionising American patriotism or a condemnation of the US government's eagerness to recruit…

Review of American Assassin (2017)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 25 Sep 2017

Director Michael Cuesta has made a celebration of American retribution that while cleanly cut ends up as a paperback fantasy…

Review of American Assassin (2017)

By Mabel Salinas (101) for Cine Premiere (538) on 24 Sep 2017

Dylan O' Brien's debut as an action star reaches exciting points, but what happens in the middle is quite conventional. [Full review in Spanish]…

There are 15 more novels in the Mitch Rapp series. Who will save us from American Assassin 2…

Review of American Assassin (2017)

By Rick Kisonak (485) for Seven Days (657) on 21 Sep 2017

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

Review of American Assassin (2017)

By Rebecca Pahle (171) for Pajiba (523) on 21 Sep 2017

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