Review of The American

The American (2010)
2/10
Pretentious, Idiotic Clap-Trap. An Absolutely Awful Movie.
4 September 2010
I can't believe the exaggerated ratings this horrible little movie is getting. Absolutely nothing in whatever there is of a plot fits together. Guy shows up with just the clothes on his back, and pretty soon out of nowhere he's running a full-up gunsmith shop in his rented house in a foreign country! Professional hookers are seen kissing their clients, there isn't a condom in sight anywhere, and yet the hero is seen going muff diving on a working girl. Is this planet Earth we're talking about here? Clooney's character is seen walking, running, and firing his pistol all over this small Italian town, yet there's hardly another soul in sight, and certainly no police. Apparently, the townsfolk here stay in their houses all day and night, only to come out for religious processions an saints' feast days. Wow, only in the movies.

If you don't "get" this movie, don't worry. There really is nothing to get.
