American Assassin Review

[WillBrink]

Ain't that odd? Despite the past 16 years (and actually many before that) I don't recall a lot of Neo-Nazi or Russian terror attacks. Not that those entites are on my "best buds" list or anything but very strange how it's never an Islamofascist terror group depicted. Gee, I'm stumped......

This movie at least has Iranians as the bad guys, with a twist, which is a lame twist.

Via the movies.

I don't recall that.

I watch a lot of movies and I used to watch them in movie theaters. But I quit a long time ago when asshats started talking on their phones and doing other stupid stuff. I invested my movie theater money instead in a nice home theater and 5.1/DTS sound system and haven't been in a movie theater since 1996. I have upgraded my system several times and there is no way you will catch me in a movie theater ever again. I am not only $ ahead but enjoy it more.

I had a killer home system and didn't go to the theater but very rarely. My L/R mains were B&W 803Ds if that tells you anything...These days I actually watch movies on my lap top up close (the retina screen on the mac pro is very good) si it's approx theater size to my eyes and wear B&W headphones. The effect is a real movie experience without shaking the house and scaring the dog and annoying the GF, who is not a movie person sadly.

In the books he'd just been a spy I recall. Read the early books up to like the 4th in the series I think.

I don't recall that.

Details man, details. It's not explicitly said, just in his personnel file when he joined Treadstone.

I tried to keep up after Ultimatum, right up until Lustbader decided "writing these old characters is too much work, I'm just gonna kill off everybody including David Webb (the "host" to Bourne's "alter") and make shit up as I go." Yes, writing to fit a pre-existing canon and cast of characters is HARD WORK, but if you don't like it go create your own literary 'verse rather than pooping all over somebody else's Cocoa Puffs! (The Bourne Identity novel was actually used by one of my Psych profs in class when discussing amnesia.)
