American
Assassin
“The name’s Rapp...
Mitch Rapp!”
Based on Vince
15 Flynn’s hugely popular
SEP
novels, American
Assassin follows the dangerous
adventures of Mitch Rapp
(Dylan O’Brien, who beat
several older, more established
actors to the role). After his
girlfriend is killed in a terrorist
attack, the devastated Mitch
is employed by the CIA as a
counterterrorism operative.
Together with his mentor
Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton
– Birdman), Mitch investigates
a series of seemingly random
strikes on military and
civilian targets. As it turns
out, these attacks are far
from random and are, in
fact, being coordinated by
a deadly operative known
as the Ghost (Taylor Kitsch
– TV’s True Detective).
With the help of a fearless
Turkish agent named Annika
(Shiva Negar – Let’s Rap), can
the US agents prevent a nuke
from being detonated? Or is the
world about to go up in flames?
Explosive and exhilarating,
American Assassin more than
does justice to its bestselling
source material. A must see!

There are some lines
you shouldn’t cross...
Although not the
biggest of hits at the
SEP
time, the original
Flatliners has become a cult
classic over the years, thanks
largely to its megastar cast
– Julia Roberts, Kiefer
Sutherland, Kevin Bacon
and William Baldwin – and
its chilling conceit, that of
students conducting near-death
experiments and then paying
the (terrifying) price!
Directed by Niels Arden
Oplev and starring J uno’s
Ellen Page (who has yet to
make a bad film as far as we’re
concerned), this modern-day
follow-up sees another batch of
med students attempting the
same experiment as their
predecessors, namely stopping
their hearts for a short period
and then restarting them again.
But as the trials become
increasingly dangerous, they
must each face the paranormal
(and downright freaky)
consequences of journeying
to the other side. Yikes!
With Sutherland reprising
his role as Nelson (now a
professor), plus some vastly
improved effects, it’s highly
unlikely this one will be dead
on arrival come September.
