Dreadfully pretentious George Clooney vehicle, directed by Anton Corbijn. Apparently the pair have been looking at arty thrillers from the 70s and decided they would have a go, too. Clooney always seems miscast when he's in anything but a romcom and that's the case here. He's joined in the Italian location by what look like a couple of Vogue models playing, as they do, contract killers. It's attempt to be cool is embarrassing especially when compared to the kind of films (Bertolucci's The Conformist and Melville's Le Samurai spring to mind) that it seeks to emulate.
