American Assassin (2017) 8/10

 


I've seen many films in this genre and like when I'm surprised and this one doesn't disappoint.  The plot has been done all too many times, but this one is fresh.  I like the actors and the pace of the movie was perfect.  If you read my reviews you know I like character development and this one gives it.  When a movie can make me have an emotional reaction of any kind I'm impressed and this one did that to me multiple times.  Some will say the plot is revenge, but its really justice.  I like happy endings, but like in real life we never get out of this life without some scars.  Every victory has a price to it, but in my opinion justice must prevail and will.  The battle is far from over and thank God we have plenty of good guys to fight for us.  We are all participants in the world even if its a very obscure part.  My favorite quote is "Rapp, for once in your life take a  ... damn order!  The Sixth Fleet is about to blow you to Hell!"

A mothers love, a fiancée, a brother, a sister, a BFF, a father, a mentor, and coach, a teacher, a pastor, a grand parent, a friend --- one life touches so many others.  These three remain faith hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.
