Storyline

"Americano" centers around Chris McKinley, a recent college graduate backpacking through Europe who savors his last three days of freedom before boarding the career fast track back in the United States. In Pamplona with two friends, Chris meets an Australian thrill-seeker, a quintessential Spanish beauty and an enigmatic provocateur, all of whom encourage him to rethink his life. As the minutes and seconds until his departure tick away, Chris struggles with an age-old question: Should he follow the beaten path or risk it all on the road less traveled?

User Reviews

Total Waste of Time

What Drivel ! How could anybody consider this movie anything but amateur film making at it's worst. I've seen better home movies. No story, no content, no start or finish, just utter nonsense. The best part of this movie were the closing credits, and the relief that you feel when this garbage finally comes to an end. The only reason I sat and suffered through the entire ordeal, was due to the possibility of encountering the good part, based on earlier reviews. The good part never arrives, and you realize that your time has been wasted. My advice is to save this movie for some late night when you have insomnia, and prefer not taking a drink or medication, since this movie will put you right to sleep.
