Joe and Adam delve into The American, Anton Corbijn's low-key thriller from 2011.

Send us your emails to moviesyouforgotyouforgot@gmail.com, ideally around what cheese is which director/actor, but suggestions for Movies We Forgot We Forgot are welcome. Also, follow Adam on Letterboxd @errorofways, if that's your tempo.
