But here he finally has a different role, a burnt up hitman who doesnt talk much and wants to retire, but gets a last assignment to make a rifle for a "colleague"... the story has more but just watch it yourself. It's a good story for such a movie, and although its slow paced it has always that little bit of suspension... the atmosphere is perfect throughout the movie.

i came across this film at amazon at the 'users who got this also got...' list so i thought hey this movie was really good, why does it have 3 stars? It has to have at least an average of 4 stars... so i checked the user reviews.

Alot of people gave it 1 star.... wtf. So i read their arguments.. "boring i walked out after 30 minutes", or female reviewers saying "i love george clooney but this is bad" (note - its really the other way around, this role is good, the other ones suck), "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ", and the best one of them all:
"there was no storyline". Jesus christ... its a pretty clever little story, but to not understand it? I had no idea some people wouldnt understand the story... what a bunch of retards.

They are probably people who are ecstatic about Transformers IX....
i had no idea so many people just can't comprehend what i thought was a quite simple story told in a pretty clever way.
