Terry M @TerryM2026 Oct 18, 2026 We loved this movie. Great action scenes, Rapp makes a great action actor! Storyline was exciting, gripped you from the opening scene, and the ending is fantastic! Highly recommend. I wish they would make a sequel and make more movies by this author!!! See more Angelo C @RT29835010 Aug 28, 2026 Once again, the credits got it wrong. American assassin was a great movie. All good actors great action everything was good and the audience proved it. But of course the critics the stuck up critics who couldn’t review a TV dinner screw it up so they didn’t make an assassin 2. Whoever is listening out there make an assassin 2 and hopefully with the same actors. it was a great film and people are dying for these types of films now don’t be stupid. Don’t listen to the critics. Listen to the people who actually pay to see the movie.

My only guess as to why official critics rated it so poorly, doesn't go along with the mainstream media narrative, perhaps.

Give us a 2nd one PLEASE 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 See more Lou S. @Frenchpan Feb 18, 2026 American Assassin delivers exactly what fans of the spy-action genre hope for: a compelling origin story, a believable character arc, and a fast-moving narrative that rarely loses momentum. What makes this film particularly effective is how clearly it establishes the protagonist’s motivation. After losing his fiancée in a terrorist attack, he transforms from an ordinary civilian into a highly trained operative driven by purpose, pain, and focus. This emotional foundation gives weight to the action and makes his evolution feel earned rather than forced. One of the film’s strongest qualities is its structural discipline. The training sequences, operational missions, and psychological development of the main character are all presented in a way that feels logical and cohesive. For viewers who appreciate spy novels or grounded espionage films, the progression from trauma to transformation is especially satisfying. The film avoids major plot holes and maintains internal consistency, which helps sustain immersion throughout. The action itself is intense and frequent, but it never feels meaningless. Each sequence contributes to the protagonist’s development and reinforces the stakes. The pacing is another standout element; the story moves forward continuously without unnecessary detours, which is difficult to achieve in a genre that can often become bloated. That said, the film does miss an opportunity with a potential love interest. While her presence suggests emotional complexity and a chance to explore the protagonist’s humanity, the relationship never develops into something impactful. This subplot feels underutilized and could have added another meaningful layer to the story. Despite mixed critical reception, American Assassin succeeds where it matters most for fans of the genre. It presents a clear, emotionally driven character arc, maintains strong pacing, and delivers engaging action without sacrificing narrative clarity. For viewers who value coherent storytelling and character motivation over spectacle alone, this film stands as an enjoyable and worthwhile entry into the modern spy thriller category.
