American Assassin
Twenty three-year-old Mitch lost his parents to a tragic car accident at the age of fourteen, and his girlfriend to a terrorist attack just as they were engaged. Seeking revenge, he is enlisted by CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy as a black ops recruit. Kennedy then assigns Cold War veteran Stan Hurley to train Mitch. Together they will later on investigate a wave of apparently random attacks on military and civilian targets. The discovery of a pattern in the violence leads them to a joint mission with a lethal Turkish agent to stop a mysterious operative intent on starting a world war in the Middle East.
User Reviews
I had very low expectations for this movie. I was sure it was going to be either western or anti-western propaganda. It was neither.
The opening scene simply blew me away. It captures the panic, powerlessness and despair of a terrorist attack, like no other movie I have seen. It felt unnervingly reel, but is properly a little politically incorrect and I suspect that is why this great movie is so ridiculously underrated. The acting and cinematic quality is excellent throughout the whole movie. Go see this movie if you want to see a classic vengeance sotry that doesn't try to throw a political message down your throat.
