We’ve waited a long time for George Clooney to come out and make a great thriller. ‘Michael Clayton’ was a start, but even that was a little slow at times. It looks like we’ll finally get our wish on September first, when ‘The American’ hits theaters.

The movie, which was filmed on location in Italy, stars Clooney as a master assassin. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact that his next assignment will be his last. Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman named Mathilde (Thekla Reuten) is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship a local priest (Paolo Bonacelli) and pursues romance with a beautiful villager (Violante Placido). But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.

To coincide with the film’s release, Bullz-Eye is offering up a $100 gift card along with a leather passport case for your next trip abroad. For more details on the contest, head over to our ‘The American’ contest homepage. Don’t miss the movie, in theaters this weekend!
