Michael Keaton was initially apprehensive about playing Stan Hurley, who is portrayed as a somewhat crazy, former CIA operative. Keaton did not like the idea originally, due to Keaton's well known liberal views. However, after reading Vince Flynn's novel American Assassin, Keaton felt like he could connect with and channel the character of Hurley. See more »

Profoundly stupid and childish at every single step along the way. This was born from a pretty stupid book that was also childish and simple-minded.The book was a total rip-off of An Officer and a Gentleman to the point that I was surprised the author didn't lift the "steers and queers" line.
The story is so ridden with clichés it's like they used a Micro Soft boilerplate model for the script.
Butch-sounding name: Mitch Rapp. Check. Grizzly old vet training the new punk kid. Check.
Arab bad guys right out of an episode of Scooby Doo. Check. Lame martial arts scenes right out of a 9 year old kid's fantasy. Check.
Nothing at all felt real about this movie.
