The American [DVD] [2010]

This is not a great movie but not a bad movie. Acting is good as usual by clooney. Blu ray looks good

acting great , action was good, The female star is gorgous -HOT

This is not your typical assassin movie. I also liked the location and feel.

Best when watched a second time. This movie is deeper than people give it credit for.

This movie is my all time favorite. I love the story and the characters are interesting.

Everyone needs to see this forgotten gem. One of my favorite George Clooney films.

The ending to the movie was quite surprising. It did not take the resolution I had expected.

For the progressive film fans out there this is a beauty. Anton Corbijn's The American effortlessly strays away from Hollywood's predictable thriller genre plagued by its' tendency towards an easy closure. This film will keep the viewer guessing until the very last shot and will immediately invite a second screening. Clooney's performance is one of simplistic austerity and is genuinely refreshing from his recent role in the Ocean's series. The cinematography, excellent by any regards, includes breathtaking tracking shots through the streets of Italy's steep hillside town of Castel del Montel and extraordinary extreme wide shots of Sweden's wintry Jamtland Province. Not surprisingly a Focus Features film, this is easily one of the best films to challenge the thriller genre to date.
