The American

This movie is weird. It's hard to rate it because it had good stuff, and really BAD stuff. The good stuff first: it's filmed beautifully. The majority of the movie is set in Italy, and the scenery is so pretty. Also, there's not alot of dialogue, you are left to infer a lot of things yourself (which I didn't really mind.) Now the bad stuff: the story is terrible! I don't think we need another "he's a hit man who wants out" movie, do you? They could have done so many other things with that story line, but the conclusion turns out exactly as you would suspect. The first 5 minutes were intriguing, but then he goes to Italy and nothing really happens for like an hour. Like I said, the minimal dialogue and beautiful scenery is different and cool, but not enough to carry over an hour of the movie. Overall - unless you want to watch it for the technicalities of how it was made, I'd say PASS.
