Review of The American (2010) by Kelly L — 24 Nov 2013

A lot of people didn't like this movie and I'm not one of them. This isn't an action movie but I found it very interesting partly because of the mechanics of gun making and I thought the plot is good.

While the movie takes its time getting to where it's going I enjoyed the trip and I found the payoff sudden, shocking and perfectly fitted to the rest of the movie. Clooney's character didn't get to where he is by being naive.

Clooney did his usual perfect performance and managed to keep this action film fan engaged right to the end. I like the end too.
