How do you take a movie that has gorgeous scenery, explicit erotica, many murders, chases and betrayals, and STILL end up with 2 hours of boredom? Takes a master film maker to pull that off. First, the plot, such as it is, is inferential and inconsistent, and depends on ridiculous coincidences. But if you like excruciatingly long scenes of people brooding for no apparent reason, this is the movie for you.
The hero just happens to be given all the parts and equipment he needs to construct a specific type of assassin rife. Now isn't that convenient? And how did all the heavy machinery equipment get moved to his apartment, or we to believe that all those long manufacturing sequences took place in an auto mechanic's garage? And no one came in to see what he was up to? And where did he acquire the ammunition? The closer you look at this movie, the more unbelievable it becomes. Three stars mostly because of the amazing Italian scenery and for Clooney trying to make something out of nothing. Nice try, but fail

I am a huge George Clooney fan and have enjoyed just about everything he's done but my God this film is horrendously bad..
The scenes of him being chased and the clip clop of his Florsheims pounding the pavement was laughable at first but grew to becoming almost annoying as the film was..
I'd pass on watching it but that's just MyTwoCent..!

I found it as interesting as watching paint dry. I kept watching the clock to see when it would be over. I finally gave up after an hour. Cooney is usually terrific no matter what the part, or movie, but he could not save this movie for me. It had no story, very little dialogue, and it was impossible to even tell what was even really what was going on. No background on clooneys character even , so the viewer was just thrown into the deep end wondering, and waiting, but to no avail. I obviously would suggest passing on this movie for something much better.

OMG, this movie was horrible! Got sucked in because I love Clooney, and his body of work. That caused me to be misled on this one. The movie was cheesy & shallow. It was also devoid of any real emotion, & was over-acted. The gratuitous nude shots couldn't even save it. We know nothing about the characters, or why anything is happening. Therefore, i really didn't care what happened. I felt no connection to any of them, nor any reason to follow the events. The movie ended, & I felt so taken for granite. Sure wish I was warned before I wasted a movie opty. Next time I'll do more homework. Pls return me the favor by posting your reviews. We gotta help each other.
