At its best, the film's silence and unrevealing mood of observation remind you of 'The Passenger' or Paulo Sorrentino's 'Consequences of Love'...
Dave Calhoun, Time Out

This movie is so serious about its pretensions that none of it makes any sense.
Jonathan F. Richards, Film.com
Rotten
While cinema-lovers can cheer a director willing to buck the fashion for sensory overload, The American can't rightly be called a success.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

The good news, though, is that eventually The American does get to where it wants to be, and becomes a rather improbably but genuinely moving story.
Glenn Kenny, MSN Movies

If you're expecting a star-propelled thriller with the usual bob, weave and one-two punch, this isn't your ticket.
