Based on author Vince Flynn's eleventh Mitch Rapp novel that charts a Cold War veteran (Michael Keaton), who would be the most feared training officer in the CIA if more than a handful of people at the agency actually knew of his existence. CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy (Sanaa Lathan) tasks him with training a black ops recruit (NJ native "The Maze Runner," and "Teen Wolf" star Dylan O'Brien) devastated by the loss of his fiancee to a terrorist attack. The pair is eventually dispatched to go on a joint mission with a lethal Turkish agent (Shiva Negar) to stop a mysterious operative (former Friday Night Lights TV fave Taylor Kitsch) from kicking off a global war.
Should the film spawn a few sequels Lathan's Kennedy could return. Scott Adkins and the great David Suchet co-star.
"Kill the Messenger" director Michael Cuesta called action from an adapted screenplay written by Stephen Schiff.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Nick Wechsler are producing the film.
It seems O'Brien's all sorts of jacked in this film--a star rising for sure--Excited to see how it all turns out for him. In the meantime Teen Wolf ends its run this Summer on MTV after six seasons.
