The American (Review)

Usually when people talk about a movie feeling "European," it isn't exactly a compliment. It's shorthand for languid pacing, character-based drama, maybe a few casually naked boobs and a general lack of Hollywood conventionality. 'The American' feels very much like the product of people who want to make a "European"-style movie, except that they forgot to pay attention to the last word in that equation. Grade: C.
