The Tourist = Slowest. Boat Chase. Ever.



The Tourist is a definite miss that only happens to star two big actors. Both Depp and Jolie give fair performances given what they have to work with, but, in the end, the weakness of the movie's script, plot, and character development drive this movie into an inescapable hole.

The shots, angles, and scenes appear to want to evoke a 1950's film-noir aspect but fail miserably when they do this in a modern day world. If they wanted to create film-noir, they could have easily made the movie into a period-piece without even disrupting much of the screenplay.

The overall movie is cheesy, translucently predictable, and weak. A movie made just to make a movie.

5 out of 10.

Let me know what you think!
