The trailers for this film give the illusion that it is an action packed drama. The truth of the matter is the most exciting thing about this movie is the trailer and the fact that after 1hr 45mins you get to leave. One of the worst \ boring movies I have seen in a long time. I kept waiting for this movie to pick up steam, but it never got out of first gear. I WOULD NOT EVEN SUGGEST THIS AS A REDBOX NIGHT.

I can't imagine anyone giving this movie a good review. Everyone who left the theater I was in couldn't believe George Clooney could create such a fiasco. Slow and boring fiasco ! This is a movie by George ,for George. all about George. George doing situps ,Gorge being sad . George being pensive, George having sex. George talking to a Priest, George chasing a mystery man. George killing a mystery man ,That's what it seemed like. Senseless! He could have been killed 100 times over in the first half hour. Unfortunately we had to wait painfully 1 hour and 40 minutes. I will say one thing, this is the first time I had dialog with movie goers while walking out of the movie. Most laughing that they actually stayed to the end ! I just wanted my money back on grounds of torture ! DON"T GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No wise-cracking,no gum chewing and no Zippo flipping; just a lean mean killing machine.I guess this Hollywood super star decided to make a cheap movie near his home (Italy) and make a few easy million on his star power alone. Thanks but no thanks! It's not a bad movie but it's not worth a trip to the Cine-plex. It's about a paid killer who build his own W.O.D. i.e.Weapon of your Own Destruction. The story has been done before, the sex scenes are unbelievable ( the prostitute with the heart of gold)and the scenery is boring. The one chase scene between a scooter and a BMW is just plain stupid. Some critics have compared this to a modern day spaghetti western. That is an insult to Clint Eastwood and his Italian director- Sergioni. Yeah, it time for Clooney and his friends to do "Ocean's eleven or twelve or whatever". Save your money and wait for the DVD.

Save your money. Spend 2 hours watching the grass grow instead.

first off let me say that i am not one that criticizes most movies but this time i have made an exeption, every gun shot, action scene, suspensfull moment etc. in the movie is in the preview the rest is filled with silent close ups of george clooney, piano riffs, george exersising and or making bullets out of car parts. half way through my leg fell asleep and i was jelous for i could not do the same this movie is entirly predictable. in the midst of the american i found that it was more enjoyable to count the number of tiles on the cieling (320, to be exact, there were also 240 seats, 24 sprinkalers, 48 light bulbs and 52 un happy viewers) when the movie concluded more than half of the people had already left and the rest laughed and/or demanded thier money back. in the end if you are in need of a 100 minute nap and you have 20 bucks burning a whole in your pocket by all means go see the american. if that is not the case i would stay as far away as possable from this cinematic disaster
