The American

Post by Grandpa's Spells »

People are complaining because they are expecting to see a Jason Bourne movie (which based on the previews, is what you might expect), and it's much closer to Le Samourai. Good movie, but not an action flick.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

The wife and I both enjoyed it. His demeanor in the movie somewhat reminded me of a story I read in the local paper some time ago about a young killer for one of the Mexican cartels caught here in the states. The young Mexican killer was very stoic in the interview and had reached a point of complete acceptance of his eventual violent death.

Live by the sword, die by the sword and don't bitch about because it's what you are asking for.
