User review rating: 3 September 12, 2010

Very disappointing movie. I like George Clooney as an actor but he didn't do well in this movie.

User review rating: 1 September 12, 2010

User review rating: 5 September 11, 2010

kist can't get enough of george!!

User review rating: 1 September 11, 2010

Very slow, very boring, not much dialogue, the only action scenes were the ones in the commercials. So not worth it, even with George Clooney.

User review rating: 1 September 11, 2010

Sounds like the one person who rated it a 5 star kept on rating it a 5 because I cant believe 20% of the respondents found any value or good acting in this movie. Top stinker of the year.

User review rating: 1 September 11, 2010

Strange movie. Couldnt follow it.

User review rating: 4 September 11, 2010

not for the action testosterone laden. Understated and exceptional acting. From the comments I have read very few understand this move.

User review rating: 1 September 11, 2010

Aweful -can't understand how Clooney agreed to "star" in this movie. I wanted to walk out it was so bad - I should have because the ending was worse than the movie!

User review rating: 1 September 11, 2010

this was the worst movie i have ever seen.

terribleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

User review rating: 1 September 11, 2010

Boring,slow a waste of money. Don't bother

User review rating: 1 September 10, 2010

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It was achingly slow throughout with a weak plot and undeveloped characters. Save your money.

User review rating: 5 September 10, 2010

It's funny to see the spread of ratings. I'll save you some time, if you want to pay close attention to a movie that is excellently written, excellently acted and artfully shot, then go see this. If you are looking for a slick, fun spy movie, go see something else. This movie does a great job of putting you in the life of Clooneys character. You feel his tension, his paranoia. This is not so much a movie as an experience, if you pay attention and are patient you will feel like you are there with him. However again, this movie will not be for everyone. This is not a Bond movie ( I am a big fan). This is a slowly paced drama that you have to follow from scene one to get. Hope you enjoy it

If you caught the allusion to Sergio Leone and the "Spaghetti Westerns" you'd know that this is a real movie, not an escapist fantasy.

User review rating: 4 September 10, 2010

If your age/mentality is an equal ratio to the number of stars you give it that explains why you did or didn't like it. If you gave 2 or fewer stars you'll never, never understand what I just said either.

User review rating: 2 September 10, 2010

I can't give this movie more than 2 stars..very slow to get started and really never got going. George had the same facial expression through the entire movie...I couldn't wait til it was over....

User review rating: 3 September 10, 2010

Scenery was beautiful, however I found that the movie moved a little slow considering it was George Clooney that was the main actor in this film.

User review rating: 3 September 10, 2010

I'd watch Clooney in anything but I think the ending was a cop-out. Enjoyed it overall, but not Oscar material.

User review rating: 5 September 10, 2010

This movie was a HUGE breath of fresh air. A break from special effects, CGI, and cheezey acting. If you would like to see just how good of an actor George Clooney is, you may want to see this. There was very little soundtrack, which was a perfect compliment to the movie, because it forced me to really focus on the way the actors conveyed their emotions. It brought tears to my eyes at the end. It isn't the type of movie you'd expect from watching the previews.

User review rating: 1 September 10, 2010

If I could I'd rate it 0 stars because this Reviewer said it all, “his movie lacks a plot and spends too much time on nude scenes. waste of money..” 100% Waste of Good money!! I should have went to the Manager and got my $$$ back! Also Way too much spent on nude scenes!! Thats NOT what I pay my $$$$$ for, period. Where's the constructive Value in that??

User review rating: 5 September 10, 2010

Great film, but not for everyone. It relies on the actors' faces far more than on dialogue.

User review rating: 5 September 10, 2010

An intelligent, gripping movie. George Clooney is at his best and the rest of the cast is superb.

User review rating: 1 September 09, 2010

DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR, SAVE YOUR MONEY AND STAY HOME THIS IS A STINKER. POOR GEORGE.

User review rating: 1 September 09, 2010

this must be the worst movie I have seen in the last 5 years...heck maybe ever. no idea what it was about other than having sex and making a gun..totally mind numbing. all 18 other people in the theatre agreed ( which should have been an indication). DONT DO IT!

User review rating: 1 September 09, 2010

Very boring movie, no story content in my opinion. Very dissapointing!

User review rating: 1 September 09, 2010

Worst movie I ever saw...no plot, no sense, so boring that I fell asleep 4x!

User review rating: 3 September 09, 2010

I am glad I got to see the movie for free. I think because Clooney lives in Italy he MUST have been doing someone a favour to get an italian movie distributed in the states to make a tad bit more money. I tried my best to understand the little symbolism that was in the movie. I tried my hardest to get the minimalist style of acting from everyone in the film, but I just think this film was meant for coffee house/arthouse showings and should not have been promoted like a Bourne film or spy type movie. The women were beautiful and sexy and everyones english was decent. But don't pay to see this movie. It's long and drawn out and I get that he's supposed to stay low and inconspicuous, but wow it

User review rating: 0 September 09, 2010

Boring to sit through. The end made no sense, total waste of time and money.

User review rating: 2 September 09, 2010

VERY slow action. Almost fell asleep during the movie.

User review rating: 1 September 09, 2010

A very poor movie, boring, slow and not worth watching.

User review rating: 5 September 08, 2010

Best movie of the year ,its not your typical action packed movie but if you have an IQ higher than 100 you will understand and enjoy this movie

User review rating: 5 September 08, 2010

There are movies for those who don't want to think but only to be distracted, and there are movies for those who who want to be challenged. The American is for the latter.

User review rating: 0 September 08, 2010

it was ok, just ok.

User review rating: 1 September 08, 2010

the whole movie made no sence what so ever. from the opening 10 minutes nothing made any conection very boring

User review rating: 5 September 08, 2010

Absolutely Refreshing!!!! I very, very much so enjoyed it. Everything about it was perfection.

User review rating: 1 September 07, 2010

Thank goodness I had a pass for this film. What a waste of 2 hours of my life. I've seen molasses roll up a hill in winter faster than this dog. I gave it 1 star because it won't allow Zero stars. Save your money!!!!

User review rating: 1 September 07, 2010

it was a very boring movie not enough action or dialoge would not recomend it to anyone

User review rating: 1 September 07, 2010

Awfull movie, don't bother it sucked the big one.

User review rating: 1 September 07, 2010

The trailer for this movie is very misleading. It looks like an action flick but it is very slow with little action. I wouldn't even waste money renting this movey.

User review rating: 1 September 07, 2010

This movie belongs to the 50's. It is like a 50's movie with 90's boobs. I am an old guy and found this movie too slow. The plot is too familiar and predictable.

User review rating: 5 September 07, 2010

Its easy to see why this movie won several film festival awards. Its well shot, well acted with an excellent script. Its deep and thought provoking. Its NOT an mindless Hollywood action film so if don't get it, its your IQ and not the film. I heard teenagers shouting 'boring' 'ripoff' when it ended but to me that clearly says it all. Its a great film, relax, immerse and get into it. -mm

User review rating: 3 September 07, 2010

The storyline was good but the action was so slow. Not much dialogue.

User review rating: 1 September 07, 2010

this movie lacks a plot and spends too much time on nude scenes. waste of money..

User review rating: 1 September 07, 2010

This has to be the all time worst movie I have ever seen. I only rank it for one star because of the last 10 minutes of the move. Don't waste your money on this pathetic picture. George Clooney is a disappointment as well...that is not acting.

User review rating: 5 September 07, 2010

I dont understand the negative reviews , the movie is very good. But its not for everybody . Good acting , good story .
