Academy Award winner George Clooney stars in the title role
of this suspense thriller, filmed on location in Italy. Alone among assassins,
Jack (played by Mr. Clooney) is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends
more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact
Larry (Bruce Altman) that his next assignment will be his last. Jack reports to
the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being
away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman,
Mathilde (Thekla Reuten of “In Bruges”), is in the offing as a weapon is
constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest
Father Benedetto (Italian stage and screen veteran Paolo Bonacelli) and pursues
romance with local woman Clara (Italian leading lady Violante Placido). But by
stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.
