Review of The American (2010) by Sidney S — 19 Feb 2012
A film I see as greatly underrated. The American was a very inept and well built drama about an assassin who hides in Italy for one last job. Upon his time in Italy he meets and falls in love with a young Italian woman, Clara.
George Clooney was great in the role he brought the seriousness and emptiness that an assassin lives and also the emotional detachment from society and ultimately his struggle to try and find love. The film was very well shot showing the breathtaking and beautiful scenery of Italy.
Although the film may be quiet and slow paced at the beginning I found it very easy to get into.
