Two Tv Spots "The American"
Tue, August 3, 2010 Two Tv spots have been released online for Focus Features upcoming film The American starring George Clooney, Violante Placido, Thekla Reuten, Irina Björklund, and Bruce Altman.
Academy Award winner George Clooney stars in the title role of this suspense thriller, filmed on location in Italy. Alone among assassins, Jack (played by Mr. Clooney) is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact Larry (Bruce Altman) that his next assignment will be his last.
Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde (Thekla Reuten of "In Bruges"), is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto (Italian stage and screen veteran Paolo Bonacelli) and pursues romance with local woman Clara (Italian leading lady Violante Placido). But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.

I'll definitely be checking this out but I've heard it's really slow and ponderous.
It looks like a 40 something year old half retired Jason bourne... I'm sure I'll still check it out too though.
I agree it does like like an older Bourne rip off. But like both of you I will more than likely also see it.
George Clooney is yummy so w/e
