''The American'' is a 2010 drama film by director Creator/AntonCorbijn (most known for directing ''Film/{{Control}}'' and numerous U2 music videos). Adapted from Martin Booth's 1990 novel ''A Very Private Gentleman'' (in which the protagonist is actually English), it follows Creator/GeorgeClooney as Jack, a lonesome assassin who, after some enemies track him down to his remote cabin in Sweden, moves to a remote village in Italy to lay low. What follows is a character study of a man who lives a very rigid, lonely life due to his career. He befriends the local priest, and starts a relationship with Clara, a prostitute in the area.
