The American (2010) starring George Clooney, Violante Placido, Paolo Bonacelli. Assassin for hire Jack (Clooney) ends a difficult assignment in Sweden and flees to Italy, where he hides out in a small town waiting for his next assignment. It's hard to like a movie when the protagonist (Clooney) is not a sympathetic character. How can we root for a man who, in the first five minutes of the film, shoots his girlfriend in the back? The subtitles are not good -- when someone speaks in Italian, the original film's captions appear, too tiny to read, at the bottom of the screen. Grade: C-
