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
George Clooney has been better
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!
great movie anyone who thinks otherwise just doesn't get it...
No really impressed - can't say this was a great movie - no awards here for acting
I thought it was not bad.
first 10 minutes was great ,after that it got very boring..
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.
