The filmmakers seem to have forgotten that it takes more than a brooding assassin to engage the audience for the full runtime of the film. Moreover, if that character isn't involved in an interesting narrative, they'll have even less reason to care.

This movie is so serious about its pretensions that none of it makes any sense.
August 15, 2011
It may not be the fast-paced assassin thriller you might expect, but it benefits more from that than anything else.
Denver Post

If you're expecting a star-propelled thriller with the usual bob, weave and one-two punch, this isn't your ticket.

George Clooney delivers a strong but subdued performance in this slow-paced character study.
Philadelphia Weekly
April 28, 2015
A lush canvas of verdant riverbanks and dim, foreboding streets at night. The anxious stillness gets under your skin.

At its best, the film's silence and unrevealing mood of observation remind you of 'The Passenger' or Paulo Sorrentino's 'Consequences of Love'...
Washington Post

While cinema-lovers can cheer a director willing to buck the fashion for sensory overload, The American can't rightly be called a success.
October 13, 2013
That the film through these slow, poetic paces remains engrossing, engaging, and ultimately oddly affecting is a testament to Clooney's terrific performance.

A textbook thriller...The excitement of the movie comes from its technical polish.
November 11, 2013
Outstanding cinematography and score and excellent acting make for a remarkable movie. The American is a must-see.
September 03, 2010
The good news, though, is that eventually The American does get to where it wants to be, and becomes a rather improbably but genuinely moving story.
