Award winner George Clooney stars in the title role of this suspense
thriller. As an assassin, Jack (played by Mr. Clooney) is constantly
on the move and always alone. After a job in Sweden ends more harshly
than expected for this American abroad, Jack retreats to the Italian
countryside. He relishes being away from death for a spell as he
holes up in a small medieval town.
While there, Jack takes an assignment to construct a weapon for
a mysterious contact, Mathilde (Thekla Reuten). Savoring the peaceful
quietude he finds in the mountains of Abruzzo, Jack accepts the
friendship of local priest Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli) and
pursues a torrid liaison with a beautiful woman, Clara (Violante
Placido). Jack and Clara's time together evolves into a romance,one
seemingly free of danger. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack
may be tempting fate.
