The American

As I am on my spell of watching movies, I went to see "The American" - only because it stars George Clooney despite negative reviews.

No doubt it is a very slow movie. Its a drag and not a movie to watch on weekend night! - but theme is very interesting. It reminded me of Urdu short story writer Ghulam Abbas!

George Clooney (Jack) is a professional gunman who makes/delivers customised sharp shooters' guns. He has many enemies. Inside he is himself not very happy with his work but his life is like a butterfly taking him from one place to another place. Somewhere along the way he falls in love with a prostitute! and finally decides to settle down at one place with one woman leaving his criminal world - But if one's fate is to be butterfly - Alas! you can't get away from destiny - doesn't matter how smarter you are than enemy.

See trailer here.
