An assassin with a final assignment arrives in Fuerteventura to kill a man he has never met.

Fairly strong drama. The story is nice and is slowly developed by Lopez-Gallego. But in such a way that it remains captivating for the entire duration. As indicated, it is not really a thriller, but more of a drama. Although it does go a bit off course at the end due to a slight explosion of violence. McShane plays a strong role and his age is hardly noticeable. The metaphor with the subject from the title is beautiful. Furthermore, the film is atmospheric and visually very good. 3.5

A rather failed attempt to imitate Jarmusch - the parallels with something like The Limits of Control (2009) are obvious, but American Star doesn't come close to that example. Not even remotely. Despite the fine cast, nothing really comes out of it, and it's still very disappointing. In any case, it also strikes me as wrong that the story is about a hitman again - you'd think that's the only profession in crime. What a shame.

I also find the cinematography disappointing. On the axis of not good enough to too much it is constantly just in the wrong place, the good images get too little space and the fake ones too much.
