George Clooney gives a perfectly restrained performance as Jack, an aging hit-man who must hide out in Italy after an attempt on his life. While in hiding he agrees to take on his last assignment: building a custom-designed sniper rifle to be used for an assassination. Based on a novel by Martin Booth and directed by Anton Corbign, The American is a beautifully shot, slow-paced thriller, short on dialogue but full of atmosphere.
