The American Review

Hello and Welcome back.

Today I saw the new George Clooney movie "The American."  The movie about a retiring assasin.

It was not what I expected it to be.  That wasn't an overly bad thing.  I was expecting a real shoot 'em up movie like the Expendables or the Nicolas Cage movie Bangkok Dangerous.  If that's the type of movie you're expecting and want to see, this isn't it.

What it The American is, is a slow moving drama that has George Clooney attempting to leave the murder for hire business.  In each of the two locations he's sent to he falls in love with a woman - the second one being the cliched hooker with the heart of gold.

If you want a high octane action flick don't waste your money and time.  If you want a drama with a character who needs to redeem himself and a love story, definitely go see it.
