Directed by Michael Cuesta, American Assassin stars Dylan O’Brien, who is known for starring in MTV’s Teenwolf and Maze Runner movies. The story follows black ops recruit Mitch Rapp, played by O’Brien. He reels from the death of his fiancée in a terrorist attack when he is assigned to shadowy C.I.A. figure Stan Hurley, played by Michael Keaton, to receive special training in tracking terrorists.

Rapp and Hurley then dispatched to join a Turkish agent on a mission to stop a mysterious operative from unleashing chaos of international proportions.

Michael Cuesta is directing his first major box office movie. He is best known for directing and producing the T.V. series Homeland and independent films such as L.I.E. and Kill the Messenger.

The Blu-ray and DVD are on the streets, so enjoy these clips.

The trailer looks good, and the movie is promising. I will be taking my teenage daughter to see it the first weekend it opens.

Mitch Rapp’s character is in 16 books written by Vince Flynn, so O’Brien’s career is looking mighty fine and flourishing.

Here is the Redband trailer, fantastic.

Here is the Greenband trailer, enjoy!
