THE AMERICAN --
(Century 16, Century 20) For those making throwback, ‘70s-styled paranoid thrillers, it’s clear by now that George Clooney is the go-to guy. But one should have a good reason (and a good script) to go there, and the spare “The American� sets off ill-equipped. Based on Martin Booth’s novel “A Very Private Gentleman,� “The American� concerns Jack (or is it Edward?), an aging contract killer who finds out the hard way that he’s become a target. And there you have it: See Jack run, see Jack build a custom rifle, see Jack bed a prostitute, see Jack suspect everyone. Rated R for violence, sexual content and nudity. One hour, 43 minutes. — P.C.
CAIRO TIME ---
(Guild) Patricia Clarkson plays Juliette Grant, a Canadian in Cairo. Her United Nationsemployed husband Mark (Tom McCamus) has been held up at the refugee camp he runs in Gaza, leaving vacationing Juliette in a holding pattern. Mark arranges for old friend Tareq Khalifa (Alexander Siddig) to look after Juliette. A retired policeman and current coffee-shop owner, Tareq knows the city like the back of his hand. He’s a chivalrous breath of fresh air for Juliette, who’s unaccustomed to being the object of Cairo’s sometimes brusque public sexism. The picturesque romantic travelogue that follows is as obvious but elegant as the bit of symbolism that ends it. The plot consists of two people strolling around Cairo, each becoming more and more attuned to the attractiveness and uniqueness of the other. Rated PG for mild thematic elements and smoking. One hour, 30 minutes. — P.C.
EAT PRAY LOVE --1/2
(Century 16, Century 20) Julia Roberts plays Liz Gilbert, a writer who tells her astonished husband (Billy Crudup) she doesn’t want to live in unhappiness anymore. In a twink, she’s taken up with a younger lover (James Franco), but their affair also slumps into unhappiness. Realizing her problem is internal, Liz thinks of Ketut (Hadi Subiyanto), a medicine man she met in Bali on a journalism assignment. And so she hatches a plan to go to Italy and “Eat,� visit an ashram in India and “Pray,� and return to Indonesia where, if Ketut’s palm reading was right, she just may find “Love.� Rated PG-13 for brief strong language, some sexual references and male rear nudity. Two hours, 20 minutes. — P.C.

GOING THE DISTANCE --
(Century 16, Century 20) Extra! Extra! Hip People with Cool Jobs Have Relationship Problems! Or so we “learn� in “Going the Distance,� the debut fiction feature from documentarian Nanette Burstein. Sarcasm aside, the raison d’etre of “Going the Distance� is exploring long-distance relationships. What a shame, then, that it has nothing much to say on the subject that isn’t completely obvious. Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are likeable as the star-crossed lovers but unlike its characters, the movie never takes flight. Rated R for sexual content including dialogue, language, drug use and brief nudity. One hour, 43 minutes. — P.C.
HEARTBREAKER ---
(Aquarius) There are matchmakers. And then there are matchbreakers, like Alex Lippi
