Full of plot holes

Was the assassin's job really just to kill Clooney? So assassin goes to the target and asks him to make some weird specific modified weapon and mercury filled bullets it takes him weeks to do that then the assassin was about to kill him with a hand gun if not for some bus with kids. Then assassin is shooting, but somebody shoots her through the sniper scope she falls off the roof Clooney runs to her for several minutes and she is still alive to answer his dumb question. Then Clooney gets shot and drives to some river meeting with a prostitute( who must have had a GPS built into her head because I have no idea how she was supposed to and managed to find that same exact spot) instead of driving to the hospital. Are the directors and writers of this crap on serious drugs or do they think we buy this crap?

The order to build the gun comes through Jack's handler, so the building of the gun is obviously a way to get close to him, to kill him. Plus, Jack is obviously a master gunmaker, so the rifle would be used on other jobs.
Obviously she wouldn't shoot him in front of a bus load of witnesses.
When Mathilde tries to shoot Jack, she isn't shot. Jack rigged the rifle to explode in her face, after he got suspicious.
Clara didn't have GPS. "Take this and meet me at the river" obviously means where they had their picnic.

As for why he didn't go to hospital? Could be anything. He didn't think he'd make it and wanted to see Clara one last time, or going to hospital and getting cured would have led the police to his door and exposed what he was.

I've never been shot, so can't really say.

And how did she get to the "secret river location" with no car? Plus it was so far away?

She got there on her scooter.

Don't be such a nit-picker. It ruins the movie going experience.

There are a lot of plot holes and questionable things in this movie, but it's enjoyable to watch despite that. I felt it could have been better, but there's something about it I just like. but yeah, when you pick it apart, you wonder why you still like it. It's almost an art-house assassin movie about redemption...but not that profound either.
