Whoever called this an action movie or even a thriller obviously doesnt know what action is!
Numerous meaningless scences and simply no action at all...

I'd rather call it "The Story of a lonely Sinner", this way no one would expect action and furthermore wouldnt be disappointed.

The music was nice, it was made by Herbert Grönemeyer, a german singer.

hahaha yeah I definitely agree with Potatoflip.... I went and saw this with my grandma and we were both so bored, there so many pointless scenes and the movie was so slow. I'm a fan of Clonney's movies but this one is not up there at all... I was really disappointed.

" First Viewing Viewing Date: January 31st Via: Netflix Plot: After an ambush, a master assassin heads to Italy where he receives instructions from his handler about a job. Rating: 7.2/10 Why Did I Watch It? This was on my watchlist way back in 2010, but it always eluded me and the reviews were never good enough to compel me to watch it. But it leaves Netflix in a few weeks, so I seized my chance."

"Dispatched to a small Italian town to build a new powerful rifle, assassin Jack embarks on a double life that may be more relaxing than is good for him. As a real throwback to cinema of the 70's, this movie's atmospheric mood refuses to conform to the modern thriller format. There are no extensive showdowns or final pay-offs that end an adventure, choosing instead to carefully build the tension around the protagonist the viewer is aligned with until the bitter end. George Clooney is perfectly c"
