BOTTOM LINE: "The tourist" is a dull mess, deliver a warm, uninteresting story and witless major stars have no chemistry whatsoever.
Good:All films start with an idea and the idea of "the tourist" is actually a good. Angelina Jolie plays Elise, a beautiful woman who is towed to Paris by Scotland Yard who are after her former lover, Alexander Pearce. Elise receives a note from Pearce, saying a train for sure and choose a man which is similar in appearance to him to throw detectives off-piste. He began quite innocently but becomes much more complicated with the arrival of a British gangster who wants money back Pearce stole him. This type of plot in a story goes back to old-style movies that are rarely made more and beautiful images of certain European destinations, especially Venice, is a view in this film.
Bad:Given the talent involved, one would have to ask, "what they thought." The entire film falls flat on its low scenario and direction. There are so many possibilities of wit, action and fun, but they are not exploited in any way, shape or form. The film is quite dialog driven, and because the dialog is so inherently weak, it feels like an annoying exercise pedestrian. If the filmmakers had built the action (there is none) to compensate, the film was passable, but as they did step were, most of the film is spent watching the Jolie and Johnny Depp the playing by numbers nonsense inspirational or fun. Paul Bettany subpath: Scotland Yard hunting down Pearce Inspector could lead to some great moments, both in action and comedy, particularly with interactions with her boss played by Timothy Dalton. but this new is not operated. Parody wholesale is obviously that Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp have no chemistry on screen whatsoever. It's almost as if they acted independently from each other, and then a clever editor spliced together so that they could appear in the same time. Although this film must have sounded good on paper, "the tourist" is a complete waste of time.
