Movie Review: The American

An excruciatingly slow movie, The American makes all the soaps belted out by the Ekta Kapoor stable look like they are running on steroids. The visual treatment is interesting, the locales are great, and George Clooney will make you swoon (except that, unfortunately, he just smiles twice and if you blink you'll miss it) - but by the time anything starts happening, it's time for the credits to roll.

Watch it only if it's a hot day, you have nowhere to go, and wanna take a nice afternoon siesta in the cool comforts of the theatre.

And yes, do let me know if you figure out why he does what he does.
