Review of The American (2010) by Deana N — 07 Nov 2011

I had high hopes for this film because it had the blue chip george clooney but this movie was a dud. It is slow, cheesy, and predictable. It wasn´t really sure where it wanted to go... love story, suspense, thriller, or action.

. it falls flat on all of them. There was an attempt to create a tense mood...but it really doesn´t work when you take a 15 minute idea and fill it was pointless filler to make it last 2 hours. Clooney is great of course but not even he can save this movie.

.. I wish I had heeded the recommondations of my friends to skip this movie..maybe you are wiser than I.
