Mitch Rapp (O'Brien) is at the happiest moment in his life while on vacation at a tropical resort with his girlfriend Katrina (Vega) whom he has just proposed to while frolicking on the beach. While retrieving drinks to celebrate the start of their new journey together the beach area comes under attack by terrorist who are seeking to murder as many civilians they can and Katrina happens to become one of the casualties with Mitch being wounded. Upon healing he trains hard as an assassin with the intent to find the people responsible for killing his fiance. Seeing potential in Rapp, CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy (Lathan) recruits him to be trained for a Black Ops team led by war veteran Stan Hurley (Keaton). He will soon see action sooner than expected when some nuclear plutonium is stolen by terrorist to be developed as a bomb to start a new war. But what they were not aware of is that the main person behind this act of terrorism is a former Black Ops agent and trainee of Hurley who goes by the name Ghost (Kitsch). This will make things difficult for the CIA since Ghost knows their procedures and seems to always be one step ahead of them, but the young hot headed Rapp is determined to finish the mission at whatever cost.
Reel Talk:
From the very start this movie jolts you out your seat with action and does not let up until the end. Dylan O'Brien as the revenge oriented Mitch Rapp is almost like a dead on replica of Jason Bourne and Michael Keaton as his mentor Hurley is also on point. The entire cast does a good job in this action thriller that does not disappoint if you are an action junkie. Of course it is pretty predictable but it is also very entertaining and enjoyable. Definitely one to catch and cash out for the full admission.
