   Is the American a good movie?

   • First, a warning. The American is an atypical spy-thriller. If you're wanting to check out an adrenaline-fueled action film, you should check out Salt. The American is a slow- burner, and more of a character study than anything else. The main character Jack is an assassin and weapons maker who at his heart, is a lonely man.

   Is the American a European movie?

   • Despite its title, The American, is a pretentious European cut. [Full review in Spanish] Full Review | Jul 20, 2022 "The American" plays like a foreign European film, because it is one in every sense of that style. That "style" specializes in the minimal and nuanced, unlike big-budget U.S. films. Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 26, 2022

   6/10. The American substitutes outlandish action for a vacuous yet restrained dramatic thriller. TheMovieDiorama 22 April 2019. It was only a matter of time before I watched this. A film hated by audiences for its misrepresenting marketing and rarely discussed amongst cinephiles due to its style over substance.
