Great Progressive Film. Refreshing for Clooney.

For the progressive film fans out there this is a beauty. Anton Corbijn's The American effortlessly strays away from Hollywood's predictable thriller genre plagued by its' tendency towards an easy closure. This film will keep the viewer guessing until the very last shot and will immediately invite a second screening. Clooney's performance is one of simplistic austerity and is genuinely refreshing from his recent role in the Ocean's series. The cinematography, excellent by any regards, includes breathtaking tracking shots through the streets of Italy's steep hillside town of Castel del Montel and extraordinary extreme wide shots of Sweden's wintry Jamtland Province. Not surprisingly a Focus Features film, this is easily one of the best films to challenge the thriller genre to date.
What's great about it: Challenges the Thriller Genre, Excellent Cinematography
I would recommend this to a friend!
