Assassin film by numbers
I hadn't heard much about this prior to it popping up on Netflix. Which given the cast line up wasn't a good sign. This seems to follow the typical blueprint of so many assassin films. The agent is now in the crosshairs of the organisation they work for and surprise they turn the tables for payback. Pretend you've never heard of @The Bourne Identity (2002) or @Anna (2019) or any of the films on my Assassins film list pretty much. The ending felt like a blank misfire as well. Such a shame given the cast on show.

A full review and analysis of the new Assassin's Creed Origins is up on my website. I made a small review on here but this article contains a bit more detail about the different elements to the game that I've learned about since it's reveal.

A pretty good straight to DVD action film. Some good fight scenes and stunt work. An assassin passes up a hit on a female singer and gets drawn in to protect her from the next taker. Feels like quite a few other films put together most notably Bangkok Dangerous and the Replacement killers.

A Fun and Exciting Movie
When you think of American action movies you think over the top, hardcore action, lots off explosions and lots of blood. When you think of an Assassin movie you think stealthy, silent killing and people working alone.

But in American Assassin you get a crazy mix of both and it almost works. This is a movie about a guy that loses his girl to terrorists and spends his time being a solo assassin trying to single handedly take down terrorist cells. Which makes sense because who doesn't like a good revenge story. But then he gets picked up by the CIA to train him how to be a better killer. I thought maybe they would be teaching him how to be a spy and an assassin and go on missions alone like any other movie. Like Bourne or The Recruit. But this movie takes it a different way. They train as a team and go on missions as a team. Which is fine, I don't have a problem with that, but it really doesn't make it seem like they are training him to be an assassin which the title of the movie suggests.


The action in this movie does keep you on the edge of your set, which is always a good thing. And the time spent when they aren't running or driving around killing people is also good. There is a lot of story to this movie which keeps things interesting all while keeping the twists to a minimum.


I say for an action movie it was good, not great. I walked into the movie looking for people to be assassinated or trained to assassinate people, but walked out a little disappointed. If you like action see it, I don't know if it is theater worthy, but rent it when it comes out.
