An American-style European painting

When I saw the poster, I thought that the film was just an ordinary action film, with a lot of gun battle scenes, a tense soundtrack, and quick camera switching. However, everything was beyond my expectations. Clooney interprets the story of a killer in his own way. The slow rhythm did not make me feel a little boring, but let the audience have the leisure to savor the details. The film doesn't focus much on Jack's skills, because that's not what it's trying to say. This movie about an American killer in a small European town, I can't smell the smell of Hollywood, it's like a European-style oil painting, slow, deep, and unforgettable. Clooney is always a guaranteed classic.
