American Star Review | Ian McShane Stars as a More Meaningful Hitman

Without a shadow of a doubt, moviegoers are going to compare director Gonzalo López-Gallego’s latest mystery thriller to the blockbuster Keanu Reeves action franchise, John Wick. Not only does sophisticated British actor Ian McShane star in both of these cinematic endeavors, but both titles are about finely dressed assassins who have monumental backgrounds and go on one last mission before they can finally be done with their lengthy careers. The biggest of many differences, though, is how each movie goes about executing this plot. While John Wick provides an endless amount of frantic action and constant violence to stimulate the audience with adrenaline, American Star instead focuses on stirring the soul with a thought-provoking look at a hitman’s last days in the business.
