So far the film has got mixed reviews from critics around. Alot of fans of the movie and of Corbijn have told people who are giving out about it to calm down, that not every movie with the lead role being an assassin needs a shoot up scene every 5 minutes.
Metacritic.com I find is a good accurate review of a film.
Roger Ebert: The American allows George Clooney to play a man as starkly defined as a samurai. His fatal flaw, as it must be for any samurai, is love. Other than that, the American is perfect: Sealed, impervious and expert, with a focus so narrow it is defined only by his skills and his master. Here is a gripping film with the focus of a Japanese drama, an impenetrable character to equal Alain Delon's in "Le Samourai" by Jean-Pierre Melville.
