4 Movie Clips from THE AMERICAN Starring George Clooney

With director Anton Corbijn’s (Control) The American getting released on September 1st, Focus Features has released four clips and you can check them out after the jump.  The film stars George Clooney as an aging assassin who vows the next assignment will be his last.

As I said when I posted all the new images, The American was one of those movies I was really looking forward to…but the closer it gets to release, the more I’m nervous about the film.  That’s because Focus Features isn’t doing a junket and I don’t know anyone that’s seen it.  Trust me, that isn’t a good sign.  But after watching the clips, the film looks interesting and I’m really hoping it surprises me.  Judge the footage for yourself:

Here’s the synopsis:

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.

    Yes she is to young and he is not aging gracefully at all, just my opinion, maybe that had something to do with him crashing his motorbike and cracking his rib!

    the movie was very slow and very weak with an absurd story line that doesn’t hold up under scrutiny

    I’m trying to figure out where he’s supposed to be from. I used to live in Georgia and it’s not the same accent as there. It’s not Texas.

    I mean like Miley Cyrus for example. It seems that young american stars are expected to be non-drinking, non-swearing virgins.
