    Dylan O'Brien is not the least bit believable as a badass assassin. Everything just falls apart from there. So many clichés and such a bore for the most part in this film that takes itself too seriously yet casts a boy band wannabe-looking kid as a top operative.

    Would have given this 5 stars if it hadn't strayed so far from the book. Overall though Rapp was exactly as I imagined and so was Keaton in the parts they played. Don't understand all the tree hugger remarks, what were they expecting to see?? My wife enjoyed the movie and hasn't read any of the books which unfortunately there will be no more as the excellent writer Mr Flynn has passed.

    OMG..... many of you who watched this and made it a one star only because it was a action movie. what did you expect to see BANBI? Don't go see a action movie watch a cartoon . Those one stats are about politics and your own fear of reality . Incase you haven't been paying attention this stuff has increased all over our wonderful country and the world. God bless all those people in Los Vegas , Texas and more but don't blame the action movie , If you want to blame the movie industry the blame the never ending movies that have kids telling off their parents , kids using the f--- bomb in almost every movie that has kids in it. And NO they don't promote terrorist acts that's going to happen because they hate us. But it might keep you from burying you head in the sand and stay alert . All those one stars are probably from the same person. Have a nice day

    I liked this movie and I enjoyed it all the way through. The younger man stole the show. There was action throughout. The ending was not predictable. The opening terrorist activity scene was short. The Las Vegas shooter had been amassing firearms for quite some time, according to news reports. This is a good movie to see in a theater. I recommend.

    Bad acting, to much violence that was unnecessary to the story. When will we see better stories?? Even M. Keaton was annoying. Walked out in fourth quarter of movie and sat in on American Made...much better movie.

    Like the Mitch Rapp casting, great movie, I was worried they wouldn't be able to capture the feel of the book, but they did a good job. Fun movie

    My husband and I plan to watch this movie....I think it is very unfair for people to get on there own "special/hate/love" ban wagon and give this movie an unfair rating. Feeling hurt and sorry for the victims of the Vegas Massacre But get real people...these types of movies have been around for decades...or just think twice before you give your kid or grandchild a toy gun...huh? the real problem is enforcing stricter gun control laws and banning the stock bump.

    To all the victims who died in Las Vagas: R.I.P!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laws should be implemented to stop people making movie teaching us how to kill innocent people for no reason.
