When it ended, I had the thought, "This is the kind of movie that gets made when you owe someone a favor." The two key women look so much alike I was never quite sure, till I looked here, if there was one or two.
The main character is a professional killer or gun-supplier for other pro killers. So I did not care for him or his welfare.
Clooney does nice work. The girls are gorgeous. The scenery fascinating despite the repetitious down-shots of winding streets.
The head-monster is a figurehead so never a real emotional threat. Just another thug. No one to worry about being outsmarted by.
But: no one to root for. Only an odious protagonist, likable only because it's Clooney.
The priest says to Clooney that he does not have the hands of the artist but of the craftsman. Same is true of this movie. Lotta craft. No art.
