The American

The American

Mix between the original "The Mechanic" (1972), a bit of MacGyver, and "Pretty Woman."  Clooney is a hitman and fabricator extraordinaire of firearms for other hitmen.  He meets a woman he digs and thinks he can start a legal life with, but the tone and mood of the movie say otherwise.  You know it will end badly and the only suspense is "how?"

Clooney is good and in a role that shows that, "yeah, this dude can act."  He is surrounded by others who carry their own as well.  So, the acting, the cinematography, directing, and script are all good.  It is a good film.  It was not action packed, it was suspensful and would get a high recommendation.
