Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
If you're expecting a star-propelled thriller with the usual bob, weave and one-two punch, this isn't your ticket.

fresh:
The good news, though, is that eventually The American does get to where it wants to be, and becomes a rather improbably but genuinely moving story.

rotten:
While cinema-lovers can cheer a director willing to buck the fashion for sensory overload, The American can't rightly be called a success.

rotten:
This movie is so serious about its pretensions that none of it makes any sense.

fresh:
At its best, the film's silence and unrevealing mood of observation remind you of 'The Passenger' or Paulo Sorrentino's 'Consequences of Love'...
