The American movie is thriller based movie, A assasin in love, trying to leave the hard work for peacefull life with lovely Clara (Violante Placido).

Academy Award winner George Clooney stars in the title role of this suspense thriller. As an assassin, Jack (played by Mr. Clooney) is constantly on the move and always alone. After a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, Jack retreats to the Italian countryside. He relishes being away from death for a spell as he holes up in a small medieval town.

While there, Jack takes an assignment to construct a weapon for a mysterious contact, Mathilde (Thekla Reuten). Savoring the peaceful quietude he finds in the mountains of Abruzzo, Jack accepts the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli) and pursues a torrid liaison with a beautiful woman, Clara (Violante Placido). Jack and Clara's time together evolves into a romance, one seemingly free of danger. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate. Odds are against him and he finally got down and he just reach Clara (Violante Placido) with fear of death.

Beautifully filmed the Dramatically thriller movie in Italian countryside in the mountains of Abruzzo.

Director Corbijn shuns much of the conventions of modern thrillers in The American, employing a style as spartan as his protagonist's. Though the film contains several references both overt and implied to the spaghetti westerns of Sergio Leone, it might be said to have more in common with 1992's Unforgiven, Clint Eastwood's acclaimed deconstruction of the well-worn genre. Corbijn prefers long, static shots to the quick-cut, shaky-cam chaos of the Bourne films and their analogues, and his muted aesthetic makes even Italy's scenic countryside seem a bit drab. There are no high-energy pop songs to be found on the soundtrack, only Herbert Gronemeyer's haunting, piano-heavy score, which Corbijn employs sparingly. Instead, pervasive in The American is a kind of unnerving quiet that effectively underscores the film's most potent scenes. How frightful a single gunshot can be when bracketed by near-complete silence.

Clooney is characteristically superb as the paranoid, tormented Jack, a role that calls for a tremendous degree of subtlety, if not range. Corbijn tasks him, along with co-stars Bonacelli and Placido, to carry a determinedly minimalist film that boasts no fancy tricks up its sleeve, and they deliver admirably. Audiences who go to see The American expecting a conventional Hollywood spy thriller will no doubt be disappointed to find out they've stumbled into an art-house film and an unrelentingly grim one at that but those seeking relief from the inanity and bombast of the summer movie season will be pleasantly surprised.
