Synopsis: Academy Award winner George Clooney stars in the title role of this suspense thriller. As an assassin, Jack (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.
I would want a pill that turns me into Morgan Freeman for a day at a time.
Why?
Because Morgan Freeman a total badass.
I would have a gun that fired kisses . Let’s bring a lot more love into the world. Especially with George !!!!
I would invent an official Tea Party Y0-YO that spurs out “Harsh Words” like “I’m Fair N’ Balance”, “Don’t mess with me are YOU’re see Russia from my back yard” & “Lock N Load with Low Calorie Recalled Eggs”. This product can also double as a bathtub stopper.
A Tazer that looks like a turnip but shapeshifts
into a life-size inflated Glenn Beck action figure
thaT SPEAKS UNTRUTHS WITH A LISP.
How about a kitty/dog trebuchet that launches hundreds of hungry wild tom cats and wild dogs (mixed together) at the target?
Smoking Sneakers! I would be covered in a cloud of smoke not knowing where I am or where I’m going! (think of it as a little kid covering their eyes and saying “you can’t see me!”)
I would invent a cane that I could turn it into a Hula Hoop. The expressions on my enemy’s face would be priceless if he saw me started hula hooping in front of him.
I would build an attachment that once applied to any weapon, would loudly spout Samuel L. Jackson phrases from his movies. “You can’t kill me motherf***ers!” “Yes, they deserve to die and I hope they burn in hell!” “It’s my duty, to please that booty.” Nothing gets you more pumped up for killing than Sam Jackson’s verbal support. Plus, think how nice it is for the bad guys to wonder right before they die, “Did I just get shot by Shaft?” “Did Mace Windu just blast my ass?” “My life is flashing before my eyes. Tell my wife that I…was that Nick Fury?!”
Michael that is so cool I love Sam Jackson I want to be Sam Jackson and as a woman that is saying a lot
I would like to invent a ray gun that turned water to wine.hiccup
How about a spud gun that fires “gnocchi.” (An Abruzzo favorite!) The tomato sauce can mimic blood…
a time machine gun
to run back and forth
trough days and years
to see again
to feel again
to touch again
^.^
a grenade that explodes and makes you smell like rotten fish
a ray gun that turns deceitful people into truth warriors
autility belt that can hold the two most important things to crimefighters, coffee and donuts :D
A flame thrower that shoots out chocolate.
Woohoo – I have been savoring a contest like this – I hope I win!
Glasses that when anybody looks you in the eye they have to tell you the truth. Jeans that when you put them on makes it look like you lost 30 pounds. An escape button that takes you to Barbados, when life gets to hard – press and your on the beach.
ho
The portbella mushroom suit for soft landings.
cool swag!
I would make a large gun out of chocolate. It could be hidden in a pocket to look like a gun, but would probably melt or get eaten. Actually definetly get eaten.
Cool prize package
Great prizes
I would make the marshmallow bomb so that no one gets hurt when it goes boom! It would be sticky, though.
I would like to invent a dart gun that shoots out a laughing gas once it hits the target….so they would be rolling on the ground laughing their butts off, while I try, (unsucessfully) make the capture or get away. : )
Would love some “American” swag!!!
plug me in for a prize pack
How about a bow and arrow that shoots arrows made of gummy bears?
They could be shaped like arrows….or gummy bears….or flowers etc…they would just be harmless gummies.
This prize would be awesome to win!
I would like to invent a sword that looks so big and badass that when I pull it out everyone would run….but in actuality, it would be duller than an Obama speech…and the only thing it will cut is mustard…hahah. I could use it to butter my toast in the morning before I put it to work scaring off bad guys.
A bra slingshot so you get two shots at once.
the double barrel toilet paper gun. Load in two single ply rolls and pull the trigger. Beware of the two ply sheets
I would create a gun that shoots nothing but Justin Bieber CDs, while the CDs themselves wouldn’t really hurt anyone …but the music on them, well-that might be another story.
I’d wanna build a voice changer voice. It would replicate three different voices that would defeat my enemies/targets; I saw targets because that’s how assassins refer to their enemies, that’s what makes me the american.
Voice One: Werner Herzog. That voice would put my target to sleep, a sleep that kills you though.
Voice Two: Ving Rhames. It would intimidate my target so much they’d pee themselves and die from shock instantly.
Voice Three: Jimmy Stewart. Stewart’s voice would cause so much laughter in my enemies, they’d die just like the weasels in Roger Rabbitt.
I bet George Clooney wishes he could do this!
Nice try Jack, but that is pretty much a lame re-imagining of my Samuel L. Jackson idea. My idea is still by far the coolest and funniest. Keep trying. Werner Herzog? Seriously?
I didn’t even see your comment. And what’s wrong with Herzog? He’s not an on-the-nose choice like Jackson.
And if you’re actually being serious with your comment towards me, yikes. That is just sad you’re taking this contest that seriously. Really, I just feel bad for you now.
Letter Opener knife that sprays out tiny rubber bumble bees
i can NOT wait to waer this shirt its awesome
I can NOT wait to wear this shirt it’s AWESOME
i cant wait to see this movie and rock the t-shirt
I would make a weapon that turns your enemies face bright purple and glows in the black lights :D
I am not in agreement with Clooney’s politics, but I can always use another t-shirts and b-cap.
Thank You.
Would love to win another T shirt. always need a new one.
I’d love to win your contest!
My weapon would be a poison that cured rather than killed.
I love George!
I would a mini-catapult you could wear on your wrist. It would only function on the last day that our taxes were due: usually April 15th. The catapult would fire hershey kisses that would transform into gold coins.
pistol that shoots out nougat chocolates
cool
I would like to invent a net made out of cotton candy to capture George!
A Taser gun that delivers high voltage of “laughing gas” through out the body ;)
How about gun that pops out feather that tickles people until they surrender
