Merlin Orr Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I always love movies where the hero shoots more effectively with a 3" handgun than the opposition can with full automatic weapons.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I played hooky on Friday and went to see. First half hour was nap time. Got woken up by cellphone call to see our man had shaved and was now in Italy. Speaks good Italian. Meets great hooker. Makes stupid gun for stupid English girl assassin. Right. Then beats a Swede, the dumb English girl, and his own boss with either a Walther PPK or a small Beretta-which got a silencer on it once. The hooker was great and he asks her to run away after all the spy badness is done and she says yes-he gives her a wad of money. He gets shot and dies. End of movie. Italian art movie made for sex scenes (2) and nodding off. Ok for matinee for me at the time as I was playing villain in role trying to not be caught by trainees, but wow-worst George Clooney movie ever. That's saying a lot. Listen to Nemo- I hope he didn't take his wife-we might not see him for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Thanks for worrying Jade; wife stayed in PR with her mom and siblings, only Francisco and I went to see this POS. The script has 172 words, TOTAL. Probably the quietest movie U've ever seen. TOO QUIET. The kind that you put on tv on a Sunday at home after breakfast and you go back to sleep. No words and NO MUSIC! LOOOONNNNG SILENCES. Beautiful scenery of the Italian countryside, though. Good enough for a documentary. Is the guy an assassin or the assassin's armorer? If he's an armorer and he's asked for a super cool concealable, light rifle and all he can come up with is a Mini-14, he deserves to be hunted down and killed. If he's the assassin and the best he can do is a PPK, he deserves to be hunted down and killed. Who does he work for? Who's after him? Why does his employer want him dead? What's the point? Don't be an assassin? OK. The only good thing I walked away with was Violante Placido. HOT! Wait for it in Redbox and after you see it you will seriously consider asking for the $1.00 refund.

Would this be because the hero picked one and practiced? Probably - or, just because he is "The American" - and therefore, God is on his side....

mike cyrwus Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 the sec I saw the mini-14 in the trailer and the shot with his back with cheesy tattoos I crossed it off my list. Mr. T will be along shortly, cause I know he went to see it yesterday too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyburg Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 If you do decide to go to this movie make sure you leave right after the title screen "American". Otherwise you will be very disapointed you wasted your time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Actually, I kinda liked it. of course, it was done, and mcuh better, as Unforgiven by Clint Eastwood. But, as art-house, soft-porn, beautiful scenery (Italy and Violante) goes, it wasn't too bad. The gun wrangling was almost there. Of course you can't make a suppressor with the tools he had, nor make the modified rifle he made with the tools he had, but they at least handled them reasonably well. As for "only" packing a PPK (looked like a PPK/L to me)how much gun do you want to be lugging, if your chances of being searched are much greater than being attacked? Go for the scenery, not the non-stop action, car chases and explosions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Thanks Patrick. I had a feeling, not sure why, I wanted to see it despite the negative reviews. So now I will. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylethunder380 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Yeah guys, it is really bad. Utterly disappointing on all levels. I'd agree with Jadeslade that the sex scenes were the only parts worth watching. What was George Clooney thinking when he took this role? When the movie ended I thought something was wrong, "That couldn't have been the ending could it? Wow, what a POS!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
