The American (F**K Yeah)

It's a somewhat bombastic title, for a really slow, underplayed film.


Not to say I didn't enjoy it, but I watched it about three weeks ago and have only just got around to reviewing it.


It stars George Clooney as a hitman, forced to do "one last job" whilst hiding out in a remote part of Italy. Whilst there he befriends a Priest and falls in love with a prostitute (who likes metaphors?) all the while worried that his enemies are closing in on him.


I did actually enjoy this, but it is very slow. If are prepared for a "thinker" rather than lots of explosions then you'll get more out of it. Not to say there's not violence, because there is. Clooney is really good though, it seems like an age since he was only famous for being the attractive Doctor in ER. He's probably one of the best talents in Hollywood now.
