COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Very Disappointed submitted by ssmyth on July 2, 2011, 6:17pm We were very disappointed by this movie. Almost no dialog, not a great storyline. We have learned to avoid movies that Ebert raves about. Maybe we just didn't get it, but we've seen plenty of great assassin films.

waste of time submitted by esgzn1 on August 18, 2011, 10:27am Didn't like this movie at all. finished the movie because the rating was 4 star so i watched it but turned out, it was a complete waste of my time.

The American submitted by crp on August 29, 2019, 3:14pm Clooney outdoes himself in this one; I enjoyed the slower pace compared to most movies released now
