A slow-burning, quiet, but lean, sexy, and taut little thriller. Yet at its core there's surprising and haunting intimacy and humanity.
Slow and stylistic. Doesn't offer much substance.
It's certainly a slow one, nice visuals and the story never really gets going. Way to slow for my style of film.
It was boring and I say you watch something better
Watch George Clooney drive around the Italian county side for 2 hours.
Such a good noir. Subtle and efective in every move.
Painfully slow never really got going. He’s no Jason Bourne
Manages to even make Italy seem boring. Forced me to fight to stay awake through it even in the middle of the daytime. Excruciating.
Don't watch this. Extremely boring, tedious, scenes drag out for too long, nothings explained, main character is invincible. Dreadful film.
The strength of the movie is its bursting tension – achieved by a wonderful slow pace.
