Review of The American (2010) by Calvin Wilson for St. Louis Post-Dispatch — 12 Dec 2017
Best appreciated as an exercise in style. Based on Martin Booth's novel "A Very Private Gentleman," the film establishes and sustains a mood of suspense, but Corbijn seems only minimally interested in conventional thrills.
