 American Assassin Man I was so ready for this movie. My name is Brennan Keith-Avery and this is just my opinion. What's up guys welcome back welcome to my review slash opinion for American Assassin. Thank you very much for tuning in I do appreciate it. Before we get into the review go ahead and help your boy out by clicking that subscribe button so you can get all of my content. Now American Assassin I love movies like this when I first saw the trailer I was extremely on board because I love Michael Keaton and I just love action adventure movies and stuff with killing and things like that and going off in the woods somewhere off in the mountains and training and becoming better and better and better. I really do love movies like that and that's what this trailer screamed to me when I saw it a few months ago and also it's starring Senai Lathan and I'm a big fan of hers and so you know I was really really excited about this. Now the movie is being directed by Michael Cuesta he's not too much on my radar he's when I looked him up he's done a lot of projects that are on TV and TV short films and you know epic side of things and stuff like that so I'm not too familiar with this work but he did direct this movie and I was really like I said I was really excited about this movie but to be honest with you after walking I'm extremely disappointed and my expectations you know just weren't that high and the reason why I say that is it just the movie just did not live up to the hype or what the trailer proclaimed it to be. You know it started out great because you have Dylan O'Brien who's playing I don't even remember I think his name is Matt I can't remember his name exactly I could look it up right now it really doesn't matter what his name is but we can just well I know I want to I want to look him up but what is his name his name is let's see here Mitch yeah Mitch I was going to say Matt Mitch but Mitch is you know with this girlfriend on a beach and some terrorist attack and you know she ends up dying of course that you know upsets him sends him on a rampage you know he wants to revenge and just wants to take around terrorists all over the world Sanai Leithing you know he pops up on Sanai Leithing's radar she recruits him and drops him off at Michael Keaton's camp somewhere ducked off for it so he can become the American assassin and that's just the movie but when you think about it is like you know the CIA is you know secret organization secret organization but I know about it this is like you know secret organization it's supposed to be the best of the best of the best but then you have this other subgroup inside of it that supposedly supposedly even supposed to be even better than that you know being led by Michael Keaton but his his little secret group is not that impressive I mean like when I went into this movie I'm thinking that I'm going to see some type of training montages and exercises and workouts and gun training and knife training and hand and hand fighting that I've never seen before or something that I have seen before but just the best of it and it's none of that I mean it's just kind of just like them talking around a circle you know a few punches and kicks on here you get a gun simulation there and it's just really not that impressive and I'm just like okay for this this to be like the super duper elite class of you know warriors of a of assassins you know this seems like you know regular police training that you would get at your local police department not knocking on you know local police department but I'm just saying I mean I was not impressed by the training and it but not even the training even the action now there was another movie that came out this year not so long ago called atomic blonde and I did not enjoy that movie I thought it was one of the most boring dull movies ever but I will say that the action in that movie was very enjoyable it was very intense not the case in this movie at all let's even go back to the acting the acting all across the board was pretty wack too I don't you know I saw him so not later reaching for acting when she was trying to get along with her co-workers at the job there was a scene towards the end where Michael Keaton is trying to pretend like well I don't want to spoil it but because I almost did but there was a scene where Michael Keaton was his acting just wasn't there he was trying to moan scream like he was in pain or something I'm like come on Michael Keaton like you're Michael Keaton you can do much you could do much better than this so you know the acting from Dylan O'Brien was fine but then you have teller Kitch who is the bad guy I like teller Kitch I mean he's cool I liked him in Gambit and I think I've seen him in another movie or two but he was like the villain in this movie but he was a horrible villain I mean like there was just nothing special about him nothing threatening at all he was just there just another face just you know they could have got anybody to play this role to fulfill this role doing this whole movie I felt like there was no stakes I did not feel like you know anybody was in any real danger and even if the bad guys were one one you know with their plan I was kind of saying to myself okay even if they do win you know the damage wouldn't even be that extensive I mean they're like yeah if my plan succeeds thousands will die I'm like every move I've seen since I was like six you know these are these people want to blow up like half the world or half the country of millions but y'all are only wanting to go kill thousands yeah I don't want thousands of people dying no but the movie could have been more intense if you use you know if you wanted to kill millions of people instead of thousands of people but this movie was extremely bland just kind of going you know just at a slow steady pace you know nothing slowed down but nothing wrapped up either and I do remember after every little action scene I was kind of just like okay that was it so it just wasn't that enjoyable I'm disappointed with this and just thought that they could have did a lot better in the trailers make this movie seem like it's you know a lot better than what it really is if I had to rate this movie out of a one out of ten I would probably give it a four point five out of ten yes a four point five out of ten but guys that's just my opinion have you seen American assassin do you want to see it have I turned you on have I turned you off do you
