George Clooney: American (trailer)

Everybody loves Raymond George Clooney!  Several months ago I heard of a new Clooney in which he portrayed a badass sniper.  What could possibly go wrong?  Well, in the 1 minute trailer there were more stereotypes in this movie than a Best Buy.  Shall we go through a few of them?

  1. This is his last mission.
  2. He's all alone
  3. Foreboding quote: "I do what I'm good at" 
  4. He has a hot foregin love interest in which he lets down his guard (hint: she might kill him)
  5. He has a long list of enemies.
  6. Moral questions brought about by a priest; response "Everything I've done I've had good cause to do"
  7. He carries his rifle in a brief case.
  8. Motorcycle chase scene with silenced gun play whilst riding the bike!
  9. The dream of running away with the hot chick: "I can't stay forever" "Take me with you"

Someone will make a drinking game out of this movie and take a shot for every cliche hero quote.  The American (a seemingly unconnected title, but Sniper and Shooter were already taken) is one covey of protagonist white doves away from a John Woo film. 

Here's the trailer:
