The American is a 2010 American thriller film directed by Anton Corbijn and starring George Clooney, Thekla Reuten, Violante Placido, Irina Björklund, and Paolo Bonacelli. It is an adaptation of the 1990 novel A Very Private Gentleman by Martin Booth. The film opened on September 1, 2010.
Jack (George Clooney), an assassin and gunsmith, is relaxing in a remote cabin in Sweden with his lover, Ingrid (Irina Björklund). As they walk on a frozen lake, Jack detects a sniper, who opens fire as the couple run to safety. Jack kills the sniper and then Ingrid, as well as another armed man on a nearby road. He then flees to Rome and contacts an associate named Pavel (Johan Leysen). Pavel insists that Jack cannot stay in Rome, gives him the keys of a Fiat Tempra and sends him to Castelvecchio, a small town in the mountains of Abruzzo. Jack becomes nervous, and, disposing of the cell phone which Pavel had given him, goes to nearby Castel del Monte instead.
While he is hiding out there, Jack is befriended by an elderly priest, Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli), who pressures him to seek absolution, something which Jack, now going by the name Edward and posing as a photographer, resists. Jack contacts Pavel, who sets him up with another job. He meets with a woman, Mathilde (Thekla Reuten), who wants him to build a custom-designed sniper rifle for an assassination. Jack begins working meticulously on the weapon – a Ruger Mini-14 carbine with folding stock. He also starts patronizing a prostitute, Clara (Violante Placido). Jack meets with Mathilde to test the weapon he has made. Mathilde is impressed by the accuracy and misdirection provided by the weapon's suppressor, but asks that Jack make a few more adjustments.
While having coffee one day, Jack bumps into Clara and a friend. Clara invites him on an actual date, and the two begin a relationship. Later that night, Jack realizes that he is being followed by an assassin, whom he kills. After the incident, Jack begins to become suspicious of Clara when he finds a gun in her purse and sees her meeting with some men. He takes her on a picnic, where he confronts her about her pistol. Clara explains that she has the gun because of a number of assaults on prostitutes which have occurred in the area, and that the men were cops investigating the case.
After talking to Pavel one last time, Jack agrees to deliver the weapon to Mathilde as his last job, but at the last moment he re-opens the briefcase and modifies the rifle. At the drop off, Jack becomes suspicious that Mathilde plans to kill him when she excuses herself to go to the bathroom. Before anything can happen, a busload of school children arrives, and the two go their separate ways. While driving away, Mathilde is contacted by Pavel, who asks if she has killed Jack. She informs him no but insists that she is following Jack and will kill him.
Jack meets Clara in the crowd at a local religious procession. He asks her to go away with him and she joyfully agrees. Meanwhile, Mathilde is lurking on a nearby rooftop, with Jack in the sights of the weapon he has just delivered to her. When Mathilde pulls the trigger, the gun misfires and explodes in her face. Seeing her fall from the roof Jack tells Clara to go to the place where they had picnicked and wait for him. He runs up to Mathilde, who is dying on the pavement, and asks her who she works for. With her final breaths, she says, "The same man as you... Jack."
As Jack goes to meet Clara, he notices that Pavel is following him. Pavel opens fire, but Jack spins and shoots Pavel in the head, killing him. As Jack drives desperately to meet Clara, he realizes that Pavel had shot him in the abdomen. As Jack arrives at the picnic spot and sees Clara standing, he collapses behind the steering wheel. Clara sees him collapsing and runs desperately to the car. The film ends with a long shot of a sole butterfly ascending heavenward.
