Anton Corbijn's "The American" is a soothing art piece that respects the audience's intelligence but never fully connects on any emotional level. The cinematography is photography is exquisite and the whole affair feels like a lost film from Antonioni. Anyone expecting a slam bang action thriller will be disappointed as the film is more a meditation on paranoia. Clooney does a fine job as a man unable to live because he's forced to use all his wits in order to avoid the predators that he knows are after him.
