    • Trivia
      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.
    • Goofs
      After entering the bathroom, Annika starts filling the tub. When Mitch throws her in the tub, a minute has passed, at most, and the bath is completely filled with water.
    • Quotes

      Stan Hurley: Patriotism exists because people like you and people like me need a higher cause. Something bigger than us.

    • Crazy credits
      There is a dedication picture to author Vince Flynn, who died in 2013.
    • Alternate versions
      In India, mandatory cuts were required for an 'A' rating; which removed a couple of uses of the term 'bastard' along with a brief shot of a naked woman.

    Enjoyable and action packed Spy Film
    American Assassin had all you could hope for from a spy film. The acting was good, the fight scenes were realistic, great action through the whole movie and a decent story line. Dylan O'Brien and Micheal Keaton wouldn't be my A-team for a spy film, but they played their roles well. Still not on the level of the Bourne Series, 007 and Mission Impossible. But still a good spy flick. Will be on the lookout for a sequel.
