I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

How do you take a movie that has gorgeous scenery, explicit erotica, many murders, chases and betrayals, and STILL end up with 2 hours of boredom? Takes a master film maker to pull that off. First, the plot, such as it is, is inferential and inconsistent, and depends on ridiculous coincidences. But if you like excruciatingly long scenes of people brooding for no apparent reason, this is the movie for you. The hero just happens to be given all the parts and equipment he needs to construct a specific type of assassin rife. Now isn't that convenient? And how did all the heavy machinery equipment get moved to his apartment, or we to believe that all those long manufacturing sequences took place in an auto mechanic's garage? And no one came in to see what he was up to? And where did he acquire the ammunition? The closer you look at this movie, the more unbelievable it becomes. Three stars mostly because of the amazing Italian scenery and for Clooney trying to make something out of nothing. Nice try, but fail

For the longest time, The American collected dust on the tail end of my Netflix queue. The film was marketed as an action thriller of the James Bond variety. It looked to be fun, mindless excitement, full of sex and violence. It wasn't anything of the sort.What I got was a slow-burning character study wrapped in the guise of a spy movie. The film is a far cry from the loud, balls-to-the-wall action that we have become accustomed to expect from the genre. Instead, it is quiet and introspective, beautiful and touching, with an almost hypnotic pace that transfixes the viewer from the first frame until the credits roll.The action scenes that we do see are not loud, expensive set pieces, but quiet, tense affairs. They are masterfully executed, and despite their understated nature, they will leave you with your heart racing.The entire film is undercut by a deep, desperate loneliness. We see a man dwarfed by the landscape around him, isolated and alone. The plot is nothing new: the classic "last job" storyline. The magic of this film comes in its execution. Clooney's performance, like the film itself, is transfixing; he is restrained yet powerful, exploring the depths of love and loneliness with a subtlety and sophistication that I did not know he was capable of. His turn as this film's hero, a laconic hit-man who has tired of his life of danger and intrigue, is one of if not the best performance of his career.In the end, although this film was widely panned as 'boring' or 'too slow,' that was mostly a product of expectation rather than any flaws in the film itself. The American is breathtaking visually, musically, and emotionally, and overall it is a brilliant piece of cinema. Time will be kind to it, and I like to think it will one day get the attention it deserves.

All I know about this film, with a really simple title, was the leading actor, this was originally enough for me to watch it, I was looking forward to it more when I read the description. Basically gunsmith and contract killer Jack / Edward (George Clooney, also producing) has been hiding on a job in Dalarna, Sweden for some time, but it comes to end abruptly when he is ambushed, he kills two assassins hired to kill him, and with his identity in jeopardy he also kills his lover Ingrid (Irina Björklund). Jack travels to Rome, Italy, calls his contact Pavel (Johan Leysen), they meet in a cafeteria, he gives Jack a car and tells him to travel to the countryside, but he vows to his contact that his next assignment will be his last. Jack goes to the small town of Castelvecchio, where he poses a photographer, he meets a Belgian woman called Mathilde (Thekla Reuten) who delivers the specification of a sophisticated weapon to be constructed by him. While constructing the weapon he converses with local priest Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli), and spends the occasional night with prostitute Clara (Violante Placido), Jack surprises himself forming a friendship with the religious man, and despite his distrustful nature pursuing a relationship with the woman outside of the brothel. Of course by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate, but he completes his mission, successfully constructing and testing the makeshift weapon, but with his announcement of retiring after the job Jack is betrayed, and he does not know who can be trusted. In the end Jack plans to meet with Clara, he is encountered by Pavel, he kills him, but realises he has been shot, Jack collapses meeting Clara at their picnic spot by the river, crashing into a tree, apparently he is dead. Also starring Filippo Timi as Fabio and Anna Foglietta as Anna. Clooney as the only big name star of the cast brings the right amount of charisma as well as grit to the central role, this is not your typical action film full of high octane moments, snappy dialogue and twisting plot, it is a simple psychological character study of a man with a deadly career who questions his way of life, realising the drawbacks, such as loneliness, it works well as a mystery also, but leaves room for the odd chase and gun shooting sequences, overall it is an interesting moody thriller. Worth watching!

This is a very quiet film, which is not a bad thing, necessarily. It lives of its atmosphere and the immersion into the mind-sets of its protagonists, who have to act like pieces on a chess board, where the strong one may fall at the hand of a "weak one", if ones makes the wrong move at the right time. The scenery is nice, the actors do their job really pretty well, so, all could be good, till the script ends up with a massive blunder at the climax and with regards to the final twist, which feels extremely amateurish.Anybody, who is a little familiar with firearms knows, that each one is calibrated differently and that this may quickly change (e.g. if it is knocked, dropped etc.). This means, one has to learn and practise, how the gun currently aims, and repeat this regularly.In this film, the crucial last shot (which literally "backfires") takes place long after the gun has been handed over again. For the sake of the drama we are made to believe, that the first shot of this gun has been saved for the actual "performance" without a rehearsal - aaaargh! No experienced assassin would do this or risk this (or simply forget to practise and calibrate, when they can).Unfortunately, the climax completely relies on having to convince us of this erroneous assumption, which, in my view, eradicates a large part of the magic of the film, where we are meant to have a glimpse of a secret and quiet world of professionals, who are masters of their dark art.This technical error (or oversight) is plainly ridiculous and, unfortunately, spoiled my respect for the film significantly, actually irreparably.
