Re: The American
I saw the reviews and they are not very good. Is it worth seeing especially on a Sunday morning?

Re: The American
I've seen it already, it isn't a bad film but I found the pace way too slow for my liking. It's the kind of film you watch and think (at the end of it), did anything of importance actually happen? Having said that, the performances are all good and the cinematography is beautiful. I would recommend it to those who like slow-burning thrillers rather than all out action-thrillers. I would personally give it 3/5.
