	Author	Review
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Well executed (...) The movie packs a muscular, bloody punch, but mainly it’s a well-oiled diversion"	NEU
United States	Amy Nicholson Variety	"'American Assassin' can’t capture the grit in Flynn’s intensely researched books (...) The character’s quick brain doesn’t translate from page to screen"	NEG
United States	Todd Gilchrist The Wrap	"It feels like it was made for audiences from the 1990s that didn’t get enough Tom Clancy movies (...) A suitably exciting action film"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jonathan Pile Empire	"The film never settles on a tone (...) 'American Assassin' is beyond ludicrous (...) An uneven thriller (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"'American Assassin' seems to have a certain target audience in mind, and it’s probably not one you’d want to be considered a part of (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Radio Times	"The generic title proves a reliable indicator of the film’s underwhelming content (...) Any punch and polish he brings to the table is undermined by the myriad failings of the script (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
