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.
