The American

A muted thriller, weighed a little too obviously with existential angst. Still, sexy and tense, with a brave, bare performance from Clooney.

...it is pretty stylish, and the remote, islanded sense of loneliness and tension is well managed: Frederick Forsyth with a dash of Graham Greene.

...er man i stand til at værdsætte en delikat og æterisk fortalt historie, hvor mere forbliver usagt end ytret, så er The American en sjælden oplevelse.

Here is a gripping film with the focus of a Japanese drama, an impenetrable character to equal Alain Delon's in "Le Samourai," by Jean-Pierre Melville.

His film is a triumph, but it may be a triumph of style over substance.

Snyggt, välspelat, tragiskt, gripande och spännande.
