3rd best hitman movie ever. Clooney's best film. No. 1 Leon. No. 2 day of the jackal. No. 3 the American. Clooney pleasantly surprised me this movie is a little belter. I loved it. Beautiful little movie.

Good character acting all round but not something you'll come back to.

Wonderfully filmed, reminiscent of 1960's classic spy movies. A restrained Clooney gives the main character believable detachment from his espionage world, a world soon to change in a sleepy Italian village. Great cast, great story, great movie.
