    Keaton marathon update - "Birdman" was quite good, "Jack Frost" was better than expected for a sappy family holiday film, "Speechless" was meh (cheesy by-the-book romcom), and oh geez I hated "American Assassin". "Much Ado About Nothing" needed way more Dogberry. Not a whole lot left now...

    Watching some stupid action film (American Assassin) and it’s really off-putting that what’s meant to be a bazaar in Istanbul is very clearly St George’s Walk in Croydon.

    American Assassin (2017) - Michael Keaton and Dylan O'Brien are bickery CIA boyfriends who spend the entire movie saving each other and complaining about being saved. Decent film let down by dumb CGI at the climax.

    I'm watching this movie AMERICAN ASSASSIN and it's basically exactly what I expected: white dude's revenge on the big bad Middle Eastern terrorists. We really need more spy movies.

    There’s no such thing as absurd PTSD. We can’t control what affects us. I had to walk out of AMERICAN ASSASSIN, a fairly forgettable movie, because the inciting incident gave me a panic attack. You’re not alone in this.

    They should have known opening American Assassin against IT would be a bad idea. You would think September would be safe for that film, but then they open against IT.

    Tonight's distraction movie is American Assassin (2017) starring Dylan O'Brien, Michael Keaton and Taylor Kitsch. It has been a bit since I watched this one but was in the mood for an action thriller and I like Dylan O'Brien.

    AMERICAN ASSASSIN (2017) ★★ The film gets off to a bloody, shocking start, but as #DylanOBrien goes into training with tough-as-nails veteran #MichaelKeaton things get increasingly conventional. OK action, but O’Brien and #TaylorKitsch lack charisma as adversaries.

    We decoded to watch this American Assassin movie with Dylan O'Brien and Michael Keaton, but also David Suchet just showed up! We don't watch a LOT of military movies (esp. when the bad guys are Arabs) because I don't like them, but sometimes they look potentially interesting

    I have just finished watching "American Assassin movie in Netflix. In a nutshell: avoid it. It is bad for your health. Keaton brings some style but the rest is awful. Dylan O'Brien's performance was like a brick wall at a mime convention—completely unresponsive and painfully out of place

    You need to! He's a great actor! I own The Outfit, American Assassin, and Love and Monsters, and love all of those. There's another I liked that was on Prime, I think it's called Flashback? He plays a total douche on that movie where the girl fakes being in Paris during a bombing.

    He did do that one film with Michael Keaton, AMERICAN ASSASSIN, but that was a shit as fuck movie that I Did Not Finish Watching, it sucked ass and having someone of Dylan's acting calibre on it was such a fucking waste of talent.

    We should, as a nation, also probably have a conversation about why Dylan O’Brien isn’t a bigger star. He showed his action movie chops in American Assassin and does an otherworldly Dan Aykroyd impression here. Give him more stuff to do!

    Film 86, 2024. American Assassin (2017). Ganske underholdende action-thriller, i superagenter/Bourne-tradisjonen. Ikke veldig original. Michael Keaton gjør en god jobb. Bra lyd og bilde i 4K UHD.

    First minutes announce bad direction. The script isn't too original; well, it can be still entertaining. But two things you'll notice right at the start: 1.The scenes between the protagonist and his fiancee are long, so viewers can connect emotionally. Does it work for you? And why not? 2.When killers appear and try to shoot you, how do you move? Look at the milling crowd. Does that look like they are fleeing? When your actors do not perform convincingly enough, it is your job as director to…

    A General Reminder to the PLA’s Propaganda Arm trying to look more intimidating: A) Don’t use a scene involving the US Navy’s 6th Fleet from the 2017 Film American Assassin to brag about your new carriers. B) Don’t use an Arleigh-Burke. Especially the USS Nathan James from TNT’s The Last Ship.

    This starts off with shades of the real Tunisian beach attacks from 2015, when "Rapp" (Dylan O'Brien) and his girlfriend find themselves caught up in a shooting that ends in tragedy. Determined on revenge, he attracts the attention of the CIA with whom he ends up working before being sent to the ultimate ninja training camp under the auspices of veteran "Hurley" (Michael Keaton). Working with local intelligence, they identify their target and after a few predictably failed attempts, they are…

    This movie has been sitting on my unwatched shelf for quite a while and yesterday I finally got around to watch it. I actually found this movie to be not too bad actually. It is far from a cinematic masterpiece but it is a pretty solid action/revenge movie. Dylan O’Brien is, unfortunately, pretty meh as the main character. Michael Keaton on the other hand is quite good in his character. It is a reasonably action filled movie and I really like that they didn’t try to turn it into some PG-13…

    American Assassin might be the most nothing movie of the year. I was sold on the trailer, I though Michael Keating looked great (and to be fair, he kinda was), but watching the movie itself, I felt completely blank. I can't even recommend American Assassin as background noise. Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.
