This is a good thriller, if a little slow paced. I think the idea is to rachet up the tension, but it just makes it a little bit dull. Clooney is good, but it's the supporting cast which make the film, especially Violante Placido as his girlfriend. I get the feeling, however, that Clooney wanted to make a movie which would give him the excuse to spend a lot of time in a rather beautiful part of Italy, for which I can't blame him.

It's a while since I've watched any George Clooney movies. A gun maker tries to lay low in a small Italian town.
