The American (2010)


This movie is inspired from a novel written by Martin Booth

It was filmed in Abruzzo, Italy, and is set to be released on September 1st. It is directed by Anton Corbijn

The screenplay is written by Rowan Joffe

Jack (George Clooney) was an American assassin. Though he had to be always active and alone because of his job, everything was working consistently, until a task given to him in Sweden ended in chaos

After this unexpected incident, Jack had to stay on the run, in order to remain alive. Eventually, his escape from death led him to the coasts of Italy

Even in Italy, Jack got himself involved in the killing business by building a weapon for a mysterious contact who was only known as "Mathilde"

In the quiet small medieval town where he took refuge, Jack met some new people who later became his friends, including the local priest Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli) and a woman named Clara (Violante Placido)

Jack's friendship with Clara grew into love, despite Jack's deadly past deeds

However, by taking this next step in his social relations, Jack might have attracted death a little bit closer to him without noticing.
