Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "The American"

Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "The American" Rated R for violence, sexual situations and nudity

Starring: George Clooney, Clara (Violante Placido), Mathilde (Thekla Placido), Father Benedetto (?), etc.

An American assassin is tracked by killers while in Sweden in the company of a woman friend, so after evading the would-be killers he lays low in the picturesque town of Castel Del Monte, Italy. While preparing for an assignment, he befriends an aging priest and falls for a beautiful Italian prostitute. He is also in danger from fellow assassins and perhaps from his own people. This was rather slow at times, other than his trysts with the gorgeous and frequently nude Italian prostitute. For the most part, I enjoyed this film. It was nothing like a James Bond movie. If you go, keep in mind this has copious nudity and sexual situations ; so keep your kids at home. It also has the occasional assassination.
