strangely this is the leitmotif of "The American", the film director Anton Corbjn, with George Clooney and Violante Placido.
Jack, the protagonist, a professional killer and weapons expert killed during an ambush in Sweden, a girl who was attending, not only to reveal its true identity.
This murder "free" will remain as a burden on the conscience of Jack, who is entering a phase of his life when he begins to falter, "a compromise that is oiled machine of the criminal actions in which it is involved because one is tired of life itself.
the strange, it must be said, sometimes takes the viewer (at least it happened to me so much) from a thriller would expect something different: more action,
more rhythm instead there is a lot more movement in the inner character, although it must be caught through breaks, the silences and walks.
A merit: the having represented geographically Abruzzo, with its wide valleys and desolate at times with a picture appreciably.
It 's the rest of the representation of Italy that leaves something' to be desired: old men in bars, old men in the streets, bartenders watching a film by Sergio Leone, a brothel in a small town in the province, religious processions .
An Italy old, sometimes ancient, with its medieval villages, but static, stop on its own is the background in which the protagonist takes maybe a change in the outer place always equal to itself itself.
George Clooney manages to be a man icy, cold, a killing machine, but something is missing especially in the representation of inner torment.
Violante Placido, who plays a prostitute, has a moment of understanding with actor Clooney: he's sitting at the bar, she goes with her friend at the window, he sees it, enters and begins a dialogue between the two that takes place mostly through their eyes: a scene where the two heroes most intimate emotion flowing.
