    This is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life!!!! I love movies, but if this was the only movie playing for the rest of eternity I wouldn't be desperate enough to go see it. I wish I could take back the first time!!! Not even worth a rental. Unless you can't fall asleep, then this movie might come in handy....it's a real snoozer. seriously!

    Great suspense thriller with a good ending. Clooney is amazing and worth watching. Loved it.

    Nothing made sense. Poor beginning. No plot to follow. Stupid ending. It's likely that all the good ratings were written by the same person, or by employees of the studio.

    I thought this movie was going to have some action. I almost fell asleep. The most worthwhile part was the machining / crafting of the new rifle - that was interesting in a documentary-kind-of-way. The pacing was deliberate and restrained - too restrained. Characters were insufficiently developed. The "plot" was transparent as best: the old hitman-saved-by-prostitute is far too cliche. Same with 1) decides to quit 2) his boss shows up. That last isn't believable - he'd have sent an intermediary. The lack of sound/music forced the imagery to carry the whole story. We have five senses, this movie appeals to one. Overall, it's a "artist's" show, designed to please the makers

    No plot. Boring. I feel like sending him a bill for my time. Do not waste your money. Quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. I went to the movie because he was starring in it. I will never see another "George Clooney" movie again! He is self-absorbed and his acting was terrible.

    Not great, but not terrible either. Just kind of slow and alot of scenes with Clooney's character staring into the distance.

    Unbelievable. Perhaps the most boring and worse movie ever made. I expected better from Clooney.
