This week, Bookmans is giving away free passes in Tucson and Phoenix for the suspense thriller The American starring Academy Award winner George Clooney. To win passes, follow our @BookmansTucson and @BookmansPhoenix Twitter feeds and follow directions when the cue comes to retweet the phrase, "Why buy new? http://bookmans.com".

We will give away 15 passes from @BookmansTucson and nine from @BookmansPhoenix. Participants should watch the Twitter feeds each day to wait for the prompt, then the first three Twitter followers to use the designated phrase on their feeds will be contacted. Each pass is good for two admissions* to the movie and will come with either a ball cap or a t-shirt, dependent upon supply.

The movie opens Wednesday, September 1st and is directed by Anton Corbijn (Control). The screenplay for The American is written by Rowan Joffe who adapted it from Martin Booth's 1990 novel A Very Private Gentleman. 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.

Good luck Twitterers!
