The American (2010)


A hitman looks to retire and finds its not as simple as that. Nothing really new here.. seen this story a dozen times. What sets this one apart is the presentation. This is a very well put together movie, very 'adult' if you will. The tempo represents more what one would expect in life and not what you find in these super adrenalized action flicks.. and lends to relating to the players. What action it does have is crisp, brief and efficient, no extra gore or super kung-fu fighting. I was really taken by surprise watching this and found it very enjoyable. If you are looking for something with a bit more depth, but not so much it will tire you out, this is a good choice. This is one of those well rounded home cooked meals you get at Mom's house.
