Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

The American (out Nov 11) is about a hitman (George Clooney) now laying low in Italy following a job that didn't quite go to plan. The film has been stylishly shot by director Anton Corbjin but I found the story hard to believe and I didn't have much interest in the lead character. Grade: B-.
