What the hell? Who actually goes to George Clooney movies? He's like the male equivalent of Juiia Roberts.

It started out slow, annoyingly slow, but it grew on me. Yes, there could have been more stuff being blown up, but other than that, it did have a good amount of nudity and suspense...an interesting combo.

Well at least if it sucks we're even. Australians have that dogpile of a movie called Australia and Americans now have The American.

How much did you think Omega paid for those shots of Clooney's speedy?

It was kind of a slow, sad, wintery sort of movie with some decent outerwear in it.

I entered the theater prepared to cringe my face off. Which is why I was so pleasantly surprised.

I appreciate the lack of special effects/car chases/explosions. This movie is for grownups. If you liked Salt then you probably won't like The American, and vice versa.

And if you ever need to hire a hit squad, don't hire the Scandinavians even if they are cheaper than the alternatives.

Any professional assassin who uses as imprecise a firearm as a hoked-up Ruger Mini-14 loses a lot of credibility right off the bat!

Yeah, Jan, I don't quite have your credentials but I noticed that. In the movie's defense, the shot that was to be taken was specified and it was so close-ranged that I figured it didn't really matter.
