Michael Clayton meets The Peacemaker

This has the feel of 'Michael Clayton' with Gun or 'Burn After Reading' without the Humor.

I could just imagine 'Michael Clayton' and 'The American' together as a DVD or BD Package/Bundle on wwwBlu-Ray.com.

Might be one of those sleeper movies that you'll keep watching over-and-over at home for no apparent reason; Maybe similar to "Michael Clayton,' 'Burn After Reading,' or Syriana.'

( I like all those movies )

Lucky enough 'The Adjustment Bureau' is out
(September 17th)
and ' Legend of the Guardians' and 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is out
(September 24)

Well

This was a very lackluster trailer. It looks like an assassin film without any action. A drama without much drama. Weird.

Very Intriguing

I have always been a fan of George Clooney & it will be interesting to see him in something with a lot of depth mixed with this sort of a storyline.
