Storyline:
Alone among assassins, Jack is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact Pavel that his next assignment will be his last. Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde, is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto and pursues romance with local woman Clara. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.Review:
Good: George ClooneyBad: everything else
Boy, did I pick the wrong one to watch. It was so boring, I thought it will never end. I would have had more fun watching a caterpillar turn into a butterfly. The only good thing about it is that George Clooney is in it. When I started watching it I thought it was slow and expected it will pick up eventually. But, guess what!? It never did. It stayed as slow and boring as it was in the beginning. I understand the movie is a character study of an aging hit-man, but I need more to keep me interested.
Rating: 4/10
