Review of The American (2010) by Movies-Nyc — 05 Sep 2010
This is bad, very bad. it is slow, very slow. worst movie i've seen all year. as much as I adore george clooney, I think he tried to come up with a reason to film in italy where he lives. there was maybe 10 minutes of story stretched to fill close to 2 hours, and zero action.
lots of pretty camera shots of the terrain, and lots of clooney doing push ups and putting guns together. they tried to create tension like they did in the sopranos ending ie tony waiting to get killed (same as george looking over his shoulder the entire movie).
very heavy handed symbolism at the end with the butterfly. waste of $11 and not even worth it as an airplane movie.
