He is trained by season war veteran Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton) and is enlisted to investigate a series of appearingly random terrorist attacks. This leads the pair to a joint mission with a Turkish agent (Shiva Negar) to stop a mysterious operative, played by Taylor Kitsch, who is bent on destruction.

American Assassin is set to appeal to both young and old – you just can’t go wrong with the combination of action movie maverick Michael Keaton and hot up-and-comer Dylan O’Brien. It’s also great to see women in strong leading roles usually reserved for men – Sanaa Lathan is tough and compelling as CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy and creates an exciting dynamic between Michael Keaton and Dylan O’Brien. Shiva Negar kicks ass as a lethal Turkish agent. The fast pace and breathtaking action sequences will keep you enthralled and at the edge of your seat.

Give it everything you have. #AmericanAssassin
