American Assassin's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Built for action, like its title character, the movie packs a muscular, bloody punch, but mainly it?s a well-oiled diversion.
The Wrap
An unsurprising origin story for what the filmmakers obviously hope is the beginning of a franchise.
Indiewire
In American Assassin, the violence is surprising and brutal. However, its impact is stymied by a predictable script and action sequences that feel like a watered-down version of ?John Wick.?
Variety
'American Assassin' can?t capture the grit in Flynn?s intensely researched books
Empire
An uneven thriller that would have been better served aiming for a lighter tone.
The Telegraph
American Assassin seems to have a certain target audience in mind, and it?s probably not one you?d want to be considered a part of.
