Mitch Rapp (Dylan O'Brien) es un joven recluta de operaciones encubiertas de la CIA bajo la instrucción del veterano de la Guerra Fría, Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton). Ambos son llamados por la Directora Adjunta de la CIA, Irene Kennedy (Sanaa Lathan) para investigar una ola de ataques aparentemente aleatorios a objetivos militares y civiles. Juntos, los tres descubrirán un patrón en la violencia que les llevará a unir fuerzas con un letal agente turco (Shiva Negar) para detener a un misterioso operativo (Taylor Kitsch) que intenta empezar una Guerra Mundial en Oriente Medio.

The only thing I liked about the film was its great action. The story itself was rather far-fetched. The main character was really funny and, the way I see it, it was just about making me believe that Big Brother can do anything he puts his mind to. The biggest problem for me was that I just didn’t buy that the CIA would make a top agent out of an unmanageable skinny kid with PTSD, and that this muscleless expert could beat with his bare hands a guy at least forty pounds heavier (and trained), etc. I also really liked the maneuver of the 6th Fleet, which bravely turned their sides to the giant wave. After all, an American ship will endure anything. It was just as dumb as Admiral Halsey thinking he could win against a typhoon.

Otro clon inútil del joven que aspira a ser Jack Ryan anhelando el éxito de Bourne. El avance mintió, porque sobre la caza de los terroristas yihadistas trata solo el primer cuarto de hora, en el que domina una escena de playa realmente muy fuerte. El resto de la película es sobre el seguimiento rutinario de los fabricantes de bombas nucleares, durante el cual el espectador bosteza sin parar debido a los clichés, (in)contextos y personajes poco interesantes. ¿Qué esperaban los productores tan famosos de un guión tan pobre? El chico principal promedio (el oponente de Taylor Kitsch mejor) y Michael Keaton se acuerda solo del importe de sus honorarios.

I loved the trailer, but I'm not too excited about the film. While it's a subject that I almost always enjoy, something didn't sit right with me here. The opening on the beach or the fight in the hotel were decent and that's about it. I didn’t like the sound, how many times you couldn't hear the bang, even two cars crashing made almost no sound, which was very strange. The R-rating could have been exploited more and young Dylan O'Brien might be more suited a role like this five years from now. Fine for one viewing, but rather average in terms of action. I liked Ethan Hawke's 24 Hours to Live better. 60%.

A film about two totally different halves. While the first has balls and promises an interesting (anti)terrorist ride like Kingdom, reaching a climax in the first minutes with an impressive shootout on the beach, the second one is just a bland spy thriller full of clichés we’ve seen a thousand times. The cast is likeable, and so is the absence of some of the established trends of the genre. So there is no secondary love story between the main character and the agent and the bomb does go off at the end. This was already evident in the trailer and it's a fresh and pleasant change. However, there are still plenty of those classic ancillary tweaks and screenwriting shortcuts that kill the possibility of this being an above-par experience. And yet, Kitsch is fine and the action itself is very decent. A must-see for fans, but that’s it.

I have to say that I quite liked this film and I enjoyed it. It's quite fast-paced, and it's also very gritty, perhaps unexpectedly so. The torture was indeed very unpleasant and uncomfortable to watch, which is just as well. Films shouldn't be afraid of grittiness if it's an important part of them.
