Plot-Triggering Death | |
American Assassin / int_13e1c444 | comment |
Plot-Triggering Death: Granted, the greater plot had already been running in the background by that point, but Rapp's fiancee dying in an Islamic terrorist attack on a Spanish beach resort is what eventually ropes him into it. | |

Negated Moment of Awesome | |
American Assassin / int_144ec68f | comment |
Negated Moment of Awesome: There is a meta version present here. The film bypasses the hand-to-hand fight between Rapp and Hurley when the two first meet in the book (also currently serving as the page quote), with Hurley simply letting Rapp stay when the latter suggests the idea, which could be seen as a let-down consider how heavily it was featured in the trailer. | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
American Assassin / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: The story focuses heavily on Iran's nuclear ambitions, its long-standing beef with Israel, and the anti-nuclear treaty Iran signed with the West, something neither side is particularly happy with. The film was released late in 2017 when all these topics were making headlines in Real Life on a regular basis. | |

Being Tortured Makes You Evil | |
American Assassin / int_1bf4581 | comment |
Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Ghost was tortured by enemy agents, has become considerably unhinged, and wants revenge for being left behind. Hurley is unsympathetic, pointing out Ghost was captured because he disobeyed orders, and he had been told in training "no one's gonna come save you if you're caught". | |

American Assassin / int_1e020735 | comment |
Heroic Suicide: Annika shoots themself in the head to deprive Ghost of his hostage, allowing Rapp to take him out. The circumstances quickly turn it into a Senseless Sacrifice as far as the mission is concerned, but since the person is also heavily implied to be a Death Seeker by that point, at least they got what they wanted. | |

Create Your Own Villain | |
American Assassin / int_326a44a1 | comment |
Create Your Own Villain: Ghost, the Big Bad, was a former agent under Hurley's purview before he was apparently left behind enemy lines. The torture he endured there made him slightly... unhinged. However, Hurley isn't really all that sympathetic to Ghost's circumstances, as Ghost got caught because he was a loose cannon. Not to mention, all recruits were told during their training that if any of them got caught, no one would come rescue them. | |

Virtual Training Simulation: Mitch and the other trainees are going through a VR simulation where they must identify and kill hostiles while wearing laser tag gear. The laser tag gear gives the trainees a varying degree of electric shock commensurate with how badly they have been hit, i.e. a kill shot hurts severely versus a grazing. The VR environment is a mix of trainees, trainers, and VR inserted terrorist targets. | |

Revenge Before Reason: Might as well be the film's Tag Line. Every main character is out for someone's blood for personal reasons and will happily jeopardize the mission and their own life in their thirst for revenge. Predictably, many of the movie's most idiotic moments can be traced directly to this issue. Hurley mentions several times throughout the film to "never make it personal". | |

Nuke 'em: The plot mostly revolves around the theft of weapons-grade plutonium and the nuclear weapon someone is sure to build with it. It gets a bit more complicated from there.

Ship Tease: There's some light teasing going on between Annika and Rapp, but nothing ever comes of it. | |

I Never Told You My Name | |
American Assassin / int_dd95a27b | comment |
I Never Told You My Name: A variant, as Annika refers to Ghost by name despite having never been told it before. This leads Rapp to correctly guess that they're not who they say they are. | |

Would Hit a Girl | |
American Assassin / int_f42f96fa | comment |
Would Hit a Girl: Ghost has no compunctions about punching Annika in the face with his fist. Made worse by how he gave Rapp a mere two pimp slaps earlier. | |

You Killed My Father | |
American Assassin / int_fb6b207f | comment |
You Killed My Father: And my brother. And my uncle. That's Annika's personal beef with some of the bad guys. It seriously compromises her professionalism, makes her do something incredibly stupid at a crucial moment, and gets her killed as a direct consequence. It's never mentioned exactly how Rapp's parents died, but it's implied that they were killed in a terrorist attack just like how his fiancé was. | |

Defiant Captive: Hurley doesn't give Ghost the time of day while under the latter's... ministrations. Quite the opposite, in fact. | |
