Review of The American (2010) by Ross M — 03 Sep 2011
Not an action, as advertised. Likely an attempt to make it appeal to an American audience. I won't get into the story, you can read that anywhere. Anyone who says it has no plot are missing the point. It took a while to get going but after an hour I was gripped. Not a 'normal' film and I mean that in the 'typical blockbuster' sense.
It was visually stunning with some great scenes abs the characters are really good. Te cast and crew were mainly European which is good as it didn't have that Hollywood feel.
If you give it a go I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's quite easily one of the eat films of the year and will probably achieve cult status.
