George Clooney in "The American"

Following up his Ian Curtis bio-pic, Anton Corbijn takes a swing at a very used story. In this talented drama, an aged hitman takes his final job, though falls for a woman in the process. This could have potential since Corbijn brings a unique aesthetic to the picture and using George Clooney never hurts. The man is one of a tiny number of Hollywood stars actually allowing himself to age on screen and he's becoming more and more interesting as a result.
