The American..



I've had this movie for some weeks now and only just watched it, all I can say is that it's not you typical hitman movie. It is rather slow at times and not a lot of obvious action. It was very subtle, Clooney is basically on his last job and wants to get out, but you can never really get out. The paranoia will always be there and you'll always reach for your gun if you hear a car back fire, it just instinct. I did like the fact that it was in Italy, a rather tech less town and a lot of place for a killer to hide, and that can work for you or against you. Also having an American in Europe increases his sense of isolation and that he will always be alone in this world.



An interesting film that leaves you thinking. 3 out of 5.
