American Star at Academy Gold Cinema Christchurch | Movies Theatre Chch Today

American Star

107 mins | Rated TBC

Directed by Gonzalo López-Gallego

Starring Fanny Ardant, Nora Arnezeder, Adam Nagaitis, Thomas Kretschmann, Ian McShane


Ian McShane brings his brooding star power and presence to this gritty, intelligent and entertaining action thriller.

Wilson (McShane), an assassin on final assignment arrives in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands to kill a man he has never met.

Shortly after arriving, plans change as the target is delayed. Preferring to stay in Fuertaventura rather than return to London, Wilson finds himself drawn to the island, the people, and a ghostly shipwreck.

During the improvised holiday for the Englishman, Wilson forges unlikely connections with Max - a ten-year-old staying at the same hotel with his parents - and Gloria - a young woman who works at a bar in town.

When the target finally arrives on the island, Wilson’s world has shifted. He came to kill a man who he had never laid eyes on. That was simple. Now, nothing will be.
