CRITICS OF "The American"

Big Hollywood

George Clooney delivers a strong but subdued performance in this slow-paced character study.

January 05, 2013

Resource

Film.com

This movie is so serious about its pretensions that none of it makes any sense.

September 21, 2010

Philadelphia Weekly

A lush canvas of verdant riverbanks and dim, foreboding streets at night. The anxious stillness gets under your skin.

April 28, 2015

Denver Post

If you're expecting a star-propelled thriller with the usual bob, weave and one-two punch, this isn't your ticket.

September 03, 2010

TheMovieReport.com

That the film through these slow, poetic paces remains engrossing, engaging, and ultimately oddly affecting is a testament to Clooney's terrific performance.

October 13, 2013

Resource

We Got This Covered

Outstanding cinematography and score and excellent acting make for a remarkable movie. The American is a must-see.

November 11, 2013

Resource

Cinema Sight

It may not be the fast-paced assassin thriller you might expect, but it benefits more from that than anything else.

August 15, 2011

Resource

Examiner.com

The filmmakers seem to have forgotten that it takes more than a brooding assassin to engage the audience for the full runtime of the film. Moreover, if that character isn't involved in an interesting narrative, they'll have even less reason to care.

September 23, 2012

Resource

MSN Movies

The good news, though, is that eventually The American does get to where it wants to be, and becomes a rather improbably but genuinely moving story.

September 03, 2010

Resource

Time Out

At its best, the film's silence and unrevealing mood of observation remind you of 'The Passenger' or Paulo Sorrentino's 'Consequences of Love'...

November 29, 2010

Resource

indieWire

A textbook thriller...The excitement of the movie comes from its technical polish.

September 07, 2010

Washington Post

While cinema-lovers can cheer a director willing to buck the fashion for sensory overload, The American can't rightly be called a success.
