If you read the Flynn books you'll enjoy this movie as it's in the spirit of his writing. If you are not a regular reader but like action and violence this is your cup of tea. Lots of violence, some of it very graphic. The plot will be familiar to Flynn readers:
"Twenty three-year-old Mitch lost his parents to a tragic car accident at the age of fourteen, and his girlfriend to a terrorist attack just as they were engaged. Seeking revenge, he is enlisted by CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy as a black ops recruit. Kennedy then assigns Cold War veteran Stan Hurley to train Mitch. Together they will later on investigate a wave of apparently random attacks on military and civilian targets. The discovery of a pattern in the violence leads them to a joint mission with a lethal Turkish agent to stop a mysterious operative intent on starting a world war in the Middle East."
Dylan O"Brien does a good job portraying a young Mitch Rapp. Michael Keaton does a decent job of portraying Hurley. Worth a view.
"The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."
