I've read the entire Mitch Rapp series, and was really excited about this movie. The acting is good, especially from Keaton, but when the story just isn't good then even the best acting won't make up for it. That's the case here, which is astonishing, because the book IS a good story. All they had to do was adapt it into a screenplay. Instead, almost everything is changed, with idiotic subplots and some really idiotic character choices. The resulting story resembles the book insofar that most the main characters are the same, but that's about it. American Assassin is a classic case of Hollywood butchering the story. Whoever wrote this screenplay shouldn't endeavor to write another one.

Easily one of the worst episodes in the series
22 May 2020
I don't see how ANYONE could enjoy this episode more than season 1 or season 2. The couple of reviews currently up suggest this is one of the best episodes in the series, and I couldn't disagree more. I feel like the show has dramatically decreased in quality since the end of season 2. I gave it 6 stars because I've been binge watching all 3 seasons and I'm invested enough in the story to see it through, but I almost wish Hannibal had been canceled after season 2. I finished season 2 today, and after 6 episodes into season 3, I can confidently say this show lost its steam, and it's readily apparent. Very unfortunate. Hopefully the last few episodes will be better...
