@anon He is a professional killer and if audiences need that point spelled out for them, its only more proof that American audiences are totally going to hate this movie.

well, not everybody who kills people is a professional killer, and professional killer is what he is referred to in the trailer and the press material only, but not in the film itself, which just shows what a difficult time they have promoting this film…..

Why do you call Clooneys character a killer? The word "killer" is never mentioned in the film, which is just one example of the filmmakers trying way to hard to be different…

I liked "Control," but agree this is good notch or two above.

I disliked Control too. This is much better.

Great review. I was skeptical, hated "Control" but will see this on Friday.
