This was even better than expected! It’s Tom Clancy minus the infodumps, James Bond with out the misogyny and absurdity, Jason Bourn without all the mystery - This. Was. Good.
Mitch Rapp is a gifted college athlete who lost the love of his life when terrorist put a bomb on Pan Am Flight 103- it exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland. This transformed Rapp and he came to the notice of Irene Kennedy, CIA, who had been looking for a special assassin due to the US’s escalating Middle East issues.
I need to take a minute to admire Vince Flynn for daring to mention Iran Air Flight 655 Tom Clancy never had balls that big.
I can now say the movie was an excellent update to the book and I hope they make many more. All Vince Flynn is officially TBR!
Best of the espionage action thriller genre. Five stars.
