24.com Ilan Preskovsky The film is nicely put together on a purely technical level – that opening scene really is impressively awful - but its storytelling is too scatter-shot and its tonal shifts way too extreme to recommend it as anything but a somewhat interesting failure. | 5 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer American Assassin hits a few easy targets, but without enough style or wit to truly bring its characters to life -- or stand out in a crowded field of more compelling spy thrillers. | 9 | |
CommonSenseMedia Staff evaluation Poorly written, violent thriller about cold-blooded revenge. | 5 | |
