2010 Movies
The Tourist
Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others)
Seen at Fairfax Crossing with Jess
What to say about this one? Was it bad? No. Not really. What it was is not what I expected it to be. Much like with Faster it was promoted as an action movie, but it is very much not.
Weak pacing is really the issue with this one. It's a neat little film, but so little happens over such a long span of time, that it could almost be a short film/episode of a tv show.
Angelina looks gorgeous, of course, and Johnny does one of his most subtle characters in years. And the two of them do have some great chemistry and the scenes between just the two of them are very interesting.
However...I would not say you rush out to go see it. Maybe a lazy Sunday kind of film.
Would I own it? Nah. But I'll probably netflix it to watch it again at some point.
