It was ok, but sort of got lost in the summer box office shuffle with other larger releases in and around the time. Clooney was good (per norm), but it just didn't have enough on the whole to win over more of an audience.

A sleeper,and not worth explaining, except to say Stay Away

User review rating: 2 October 09, 2010

George Clooney has been better

User review rating: 3 October 09, 2010

A very subdued, powerful performance by Clooney. Not the action film that the trailers might suggest, but a gripping story nonetheless.

oh come on it wasnt that bad!

User review rating: 4 October 08, 2010

User review rating: 0 October 08, 2010

No really impressed - can't say this was a great movie - no awards here for acting

User review rating: 4 October 08, 2010

I thought it was not bad.

User review rating: 1 October 07, 2010

first 10 minutes was great ,after that it got very boring..

User review rating: 0 October 07, 2010

Went to movie thinking it would be action film, like 007'ish. The American is defiantly not a spy thriller, more like a spy toddler film. Had the makings of a good movie, but just didn't get there.

Wow ... boring.

User review rating: 1 October 07, 2010

Usually enjoy anything George Clooney is in but in this one its a waste of time and hard earned money. Wanted to walk out during the film but gave it a chance. I am telling people save your money...do not even rent this when it comes out. I think George just wanted to work while playing where he lives right now..in Italy...good for him...not so good for his fans!!!!! Shame on you George. One good thing, every woman was wishing she was the prostitute...in certain scences..thanks for adding some passion..for your women fans...it was the best part of the movie..I as a woman will remember the American for that reason only...the rest I hope to forget!!! Not even one star..but do recommend this mo

User review rating: 3 October 06, 2010

User review rating: 1 October 05, 2010

very very boring. not enough action. a shame to put Clooney in this film

User review rating: 3 October 04, 2010

anything with george clooney is good

User review rating: 2 October 04, 2010

The advertisements make it seem like it's a high action/adventure (ala Bourne Supremacy etc) but it's NOT...much more of an art film...I might have enjoyed it more if I had been giving such an misleading image from the ads

User review rating: 2 October 02, 2010

Its well made and looks great. The acting is good as well but the pacing is slow to the point of being almost painful. If I wasn't there on a date I might have walked out.

User review rating: 1 October 02, 2010

User review rating: 5 September 30, 2010

I loved this movie. It had so much going on under the surface that I'll have to see it again just to catch all the parrallels. It was beautifully filmed and the absence of noise aka background music makes this understated and intense movie that much more watchable. Thanks.

User review rating: 2 September 30, 2010

Too many irrelevant plot twists and unfinished story lines seperate tot the mail plot.

User review rating: 1 September 30, 2010

Slow, boring and not at all what I expected. I thought it would be an action flick. Very disappointing.

User review rating: 1 September 30, 2010

Slow movie, not much happens. Waste of actor, Italian setting, potential to be a great movie lost.

User review rating: 2 September 29, 2010

Very slow movie.

User review rating: 4 September 29, 2010

Excellet, as always with Clooney!!!

User review rating: 1 September 29, 2010

Awful. If 100 people got together and rented one copy from Blockbuster and each paid their fair share, no one would have got their money's worth.

User review rating: 2 September 29, 2010

Very slow and artsy.

User review rating: 1 September 29, 2010

Very boring _ trying to be something different but is a complete waste of money -

User review rating: 1 September 28, 2010

Horrible, Horrible & Horrible. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

User review rating: 1 September 28, 2010

The most boring Movie I saw in a long time.

User review rating: 5 September 27, 2010

If you like European style movies you will like The AMerican

User review rating: 1 September 27, 2010

Boring, Slow and Too Artsy. The Movie Trailer showed signs of Action and Drama, but this was a case of the Trailer showing all the Action Scenes in the Movie -- the proof was the business it did in the Opening Weekend -- everyone was expecting a Thriller -- then the following weekend, the movie revenue dropped considerably. Very Disappointing!

User review rating: 4 September 27, 2010

good show

User review rating: 1 September 27, 2010

Slowest movie I have ever watched. Can't believe they say it's a fast paced thriller. We were very disappointed.

User review rating: 0 September 27, 2010

A big disappointment. I had a hard time staying awake

User review rating: 1 September 27, 2010

Horrible. More like a slow-mo picture from beginning to end. Everything is very slow -- story, scenes, and acting is wanting. Too bad George is in it!

User review rating: 4 September 26, 2010

good move for george....elle

User review rating: 1 September 26, 2010

Thumbs down!

User review rating: 1 September 26, 2010

Actually, I would give less than 1 Star if I could. Terrible movie. Everyone around us was yawning too, and waiting for something to happen. Not worth the money or the time.

User review rating: 1 September 25, 2010

IF YOU HAVE SLEEPING PROBLEMS THIS IS THE MOVIE TO GO SEE. SHOULD WIN RAZZIE AWARD HANDS DOWN. I SHOULD HAVE DEMANDED MY MONEY BACK

User review rating: 1 September 25, 2010

I absolutely love & adore George Clooney, but, this was the slowest, not much happens, kind of movie that I have ever seen. Bad, bad, bad, movie.

User review rating: 0 September 24, 2010

Very little dialogue. Slow action making it a boring movie. Slow to develop and disappointing role for George Clooney.

User review rating: 1 September 24, 2010

VERY simple concept dragged out for toooo long, to the point of becoming boring.

User review rating: 1 September 24, 2010

Boring Boring Boring. I absolutely love an action filled drama. This is not it.

User review rating: 1 September 23, 2010

15 minutes worth of plot and character development stretched into the length of a movie. Don't waste your money at the theatre or the video store. BRUTALLY BORING.
