This movie was very disappointing. I found it boring and uneventful

User review rating: 5 September 23, 2010

Excellent perf from Clooney.

User review rating: 2 September 23, 2010

I love George Clooney movies but this one was just too slow and ending is weird.

User review rating: 2 September 23, 2010

This was a slow movie.

User review rating: 1 September 23, 2010

Awful! This is the first film that I have seen in a l o n g time where I contemplated leaving half way! Poor storyline, lacking in suspense, action, emotion... the list goes on! A shame because Clooney remains as hot as ever!

User review rating: 2 September 23, 2010

Story line was ok but what a very slow moving movie... not the greatest George Clooney movie

User review rating: 2 September 23, 2010

It didn't hold my interest, confusing and frustrating.

User review rating: 2 September 21, 2010

Any fan of George Clooney will simply adore the film--He is in every scene and not one of his best work-- an entertaining movie

User review rating: 2 September 20, 2010

Was very disappointed....

Boring

User review rating: 5 September 20, 2010

Although deliberate in pace,Control director Anton Corbijn's film is compelling and intriguing.George Clooney(as"Jack")provides a subtle minimalist performance.There are lovely ladies(Thekla Reuten,Violante Placido)) and the beauty of the Italian countryside with its picturesque villages almost beckon me to fly there now.Clooney as "the hitman in winter" finds himself at a crossroads while searching for redemption.This reminds me of another great existentialist movie:The Passenger(1975) with Jack Nicholson. The American unfolds gracefully in such a way that we get to know the Jack character in considerable depth including his expertise as an arms builder and his fondness for exotic butterfli

Slow, boring definately a not to buy. Think George needs to go back to his ER roots.

User review rating: 1 September 20, 2010

This is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life!!!! I love movies, but if this was the only movie playing for the rest of eternity I wouldn't be desperate enough to go see it. I wish I could take back the first time!!! Not even worth a rental. Unless you can't fall asleep, then this movie might come in handy....it's a real snoozer. seriously!

User review rating: 5 September 19, 2010

Great suspense thriller with a good ending. Clooney is amazing and worth watching. Loved it.

User review rating: 1 September 18, 2010

one bad movie. i wouldnt even rent it, thats how bad it is.

User review rating: 3 September 18, 2010

Not great, but not terrible either. Just kind of slow and alot of scenes with Clooney's character staring into the distance.

User review rating: 1 September 18, 2010

Too bad the rating doesnt have a Zero score...thats what this movie is worth. Big Bomb!

User review rating: 1 September 17, 2010

This was a VERY disappointing movie. It is extremely SLOW and George Clooney's performance is poor. It's not even worth renting. My husband and I felt like we had been robbed of $22.00 as we left the theatre!

User review rating: 1 September 17, 2010

His worst movie, and he produced it wow thought u got more then that

User review rating: 4 September 17, 2010

Finally, a movie for people who don't need every detail explained to them multiple times to be understood. The minimalist dialog and the 1970's pacing let's one enjoy what they're watching instead of being pummeled with quick cutting and a loud soundtrack because the story was too poorly written to be interesting.

User review rating: 1 September 17, 2010

I was just discusted with this movie. Nothing but porn. That was about the extent of the plot(no plot) as well. I don't even rate it one star - minus if I could.

User review rating: 1 September 17, 2010

This will go down as Clooney's worst movie ever. The action scenes totalled maybe 7 minutes, add to that a little gratuitious nudity and sex, and add on about 90 minutes of a small empty, vapid town in Italy and you get the picture.

User review rating: 2 September 17, 2010

wow ...

User review rating: 2 September 17, 2010

wait for it to come out on dvd

User review rating: 1 September 17, 2010

This is the worst movie I have ever seen....

User review rating: 5 September 16, 2010

George Clooney's most beautifully nuanced performance yet - in a film that places thriller and hitman movie tropes under the microscope and in so doing, gives them new life.

User review rating: 2 September 16, 2010

I've seen much better from George Clooney

User review rating: 1 September 16, 2010

The trailers for this movie are completely misleading! It was the most boring movie I've ever seen. Waste of money.

User review rating: 1 September 16, 2010

A very boring movie with too many unnecessary sex scenes. The pace of the movie is too slow. After 20 minutes into the movie, one can already predicted the ending. George Clooney might be a good actor, but definitely not a good director.

User review rating: 2 September 16, 2010

not great - slow - not very dynamic - guy beside us fell asleep! love George but definitely not oscar material he is still gorgeous though...lol

User review rating: 1 September 16, 2010

Boring, very slow, no plot, stay home and don't waist your time and money. The worst movie I have seen and I have seen a few hundred. Must have been a fast and cheap movie they made to make up other losses .... I got ripped thunking it must be good since clooney is acting.

User review rating: 3 September 16, 2010

lots of hype but the movie didn't deliver.

User review rating: 4 September 16, 2010

An interesting European style movie. Worth seeing but not a great film. Unhurried pacing with lots of long holds on closeup expressions. Fabulous scenery. Clooney gives an understated performance. Came away satisfied but left with unanswered questions.

User review rating: 0 September 16, 2010

Very well done ... good acting of George Clooney

User review rating: 1 September 16, 2010

Waste of time.

User review rating: 1 September 16, 2010

This is the worst movie I ever have paid to go see. Boring. I see a lot of movies and have never written a review but I was so disappointed in this movie I had to write something. Save your money and see something else...anything else would be better than this one!

User review rating: 1 September 16, 2010

a waste of time.

User review rating: 2 September 16, 2010

Not that great.

User review rating: 1 September 15, 2010

If this is a thriller movie, Bambi is an action movie. Nothing happens in this movie that would interest anyone who like every genre. A must NOT SEE !!!

User review rating: 1 September 15, 2010

movie was too slow. boring at times.sex scenes did nothing for the movie.they were not relevant to the extent they were showed.

User review rating: 1 September 15, 2010

This movie is Definitly one of the worst movies I have ever seen!!! I cannot express in words how bad it is!!! DON'T ever go and see!! DON'T ever rent!!! It should of never been made, it is the biggest waist of money ever!!!! DON'T make the same mistake I did!!!

User review rating: 1 September 14, 2010

This was sooooo long and boring. Not even George Clooney's bare bum can save this dud of a movie. Took my two teenage boys who surely enjoyed the nakedness. Certainly it was the most exciting thing in the whole movie.

User review rating: 2 September 14, 2010

Not a big fan of this movie!

User review rating: 2 September 14, 2010

Boring. Not much to this movie. Don't waste your money.

User review rating: 1 September 13, 2010

If possible i would have picked zero stars, this is the worst movie i have ever seen NO JOKE. I would rather watch paint dry , whoever thought this was a good movie should get the ranium checked.

User review rating: 1 September 13, 2010

Movie was terrible...first time ever I wanted to walk out.....I just kept hoping it would get better and it never did......

User review rating: 1 September 13, 2010

I hate it when people say stuff like "oh your IQ must not be very high if you hated this movie"......well guess what?? My IQ is fine thankyou (129) and trust me......this movie SUCKED!!

User review rating: 3 September 13, 2010

From the promos expected movie to be a bit dark. However, protagonist was (a)not haunted enough, (b)not believable enough. After receiving a newspaper clipping of the last place where people had tried to murder him, he stayed in a town he knew was dangerous for him? The apparent answer was his new wholesome prostitute girlfriend. Still, it was hard to buy into the relationship since he had shot his previous girlfriend in the head. Love George, just not this movie.

User review rating: 5 September 12, 2010

This is an amazing movie. Its dark and artistic and I could not have asked for better acting from all the cast. I highly recomend this film.

User review rating: 2 September 12, 2010

The trailer is misleading it is much more suspense than action. It has a very European feel and pace to it despite it's name. I like George Clooney (more as a director) but I'd say wait for DVD.
