Revolves around Frank, an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. Elise is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. Despite great perfomances from Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp and Paul Bettany this mix of Crime, Romance and Action movie gives little for viewers to be invested in it's slow, the romance is kind of weird and above all there's little happening and some of the humor was not that good. The ending was kind of good although the twist was obvious i believe. (5/10)

North by northwest, To catch a thief, Charade. These movies come to mind when you watch a movie like this. They all had Cary Grant playing against actresses like Eve Marie Saint, Grace Kelly and Audry Hepburn. This one has Johnny Depp, which could probably have worked, except unfortunately he's up against Angelina Jolie. Now she may be a star, but she was never much of an actress. She starred in two movies based on a computer game, both of them cheap copies of Indiana Jones, where all she had to do was running round in shorts and tank tops and kicking ass. Then she made a movie with Brad Pitt, they got married, and now she was definitely a star. But in a movie like this it takes more than good looks to make it work and there's simply no chemistry at all between Depp and her. So the romance angle dies there. But there must be some fun and action surely ? Well we get Depp being chased over the roofs in Venice dressed in pyjamas and a boat chase in the Canals, where the bad guys on foot manage to overtake the boat at every bridge, and that's pretty much it. The plot is pretty simple although they try to make it seem complicated by throwing a few not too surprising twists into it. The script and dialogue are weak, and the director doesn't do anything to make up for it. So if you like these kind of movies check out the ones i mentioned at the beginning, and don't bother with this.

For a movie that is completely based around its so-called 'twist', this movie ought to have tried harder to stop people guessing the twist. I think I guessed it almost as soon as the movie started. There is a heavyweight cast going through the motions in possible the most formulaic script ever, but the whole time it was completely obvious where it was going, which made suspending my disbelief impossible.Looks like the Devil claimed Johnny Depp's talent from him during the filming of The Ninth Gate. He hasn't done anything good since.As for Jolie, she shows no emotion during the whole film, and could easily be swapped out for any of the 150 go-to 'good looking' actresses. Farcical.

The Tourist (2010): Dir: Florian Henckel von Donnersmark / Cast: Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Paul Bettany, Timothy Dalton, Rufus Sewell: Slick caper about adventure and identity. Johnny Depp plays a professor whom is suddenly hooked up with Angelina Jolie. This sends him on the run when authorities mistake him for someone whom owes a great deal of money. Director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck is backed with exquisite locations and photography as well as sets that compliment the era that it attempts to portray as well as the films that inspired it. Jolie is perfect as the mysterious woman whom enchants and fills Depp with wonderment. Both leads play out numerous plot twists before certain secrets are revealed. Both leads also transcend what made the old spy films so appealing. This film even contains a similar look, which works to greater effect. Paul Bettany plays the straight forward yet effective role of CIA agent foiled at every opportunity. Timothy Dalton as a gangster is the weakest aspect particularly his contrived conclusion. Depp is the modern symbol that was portrayed by Cary Grant in Charade, and Jolie gives off that mysterious wonderment that Audrey Hepburn gave off in the same film. The film is underrated perhaps because it doesn't follow the standard action formula and is better structured. It keeps viewers interested as well as provide several plot turns to complicate the mission. Its one big flaw is with the fact that the villains are about as interesting as cracked pavement. Otherwise it is a fine send off to spy films. Score: 8 ½ / 10
