The Tourist: Review

Directed by Florian Heckel von Donnersmarck. Starring Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Paul Bettany, and Timothy Dalton.

Ok so check out my review of the trailer for this film back in September...or whenever the hell it was.

I stan for Angelina Jolie. That said. This was not a great work of art. Well, it was a work of art that was great as far as scenery and capturing the beauty of Venice. It didn't have the action and suspense I thought it would have, but it was nicely done. I felt like it was a more realistic action spy movie. Of course Johnny Depp isn't going to pull any Daniel Craig type shit. And Angelina herself just plays an attractive woman caught up in some shit. It wasn't over the top, which for many of her fans was a disappointment. I wanted to see her kick some ass because that's the Jolie I fell in stalking with came to appreciate in her films.

Jolie is being closely watched by the government, and a hot Paul Bettany, when she has to throw them off by seeking a random tourist to portray her accomplice. She chooses Johnny! He of course falls for her and ends up getting in to much more then he bargains for. I get why Johnny's character would fall for Jolie's but in this film, I don't get why she would fall for him? He's a dopey english teacher and she's a hot whatever she is. But that's film for ya! I was right about one thing...there was a queer twist...you're partially retarded if you don't catch what it is halfway through the film though. Just FYI.

All in all it didn't suck, but it wasn't awesome either. I hope Johnny and Jolie work together on another project but I honestly don't see that happening.

8/10. Don't give me a side eye it was Angelina Jolie AND Johnny Depp!
