The Tourist - Movie Review

The Tourist U/A; Drama/Action/Thriller Dir: Florian Henkel Von Donnersmarck Release Date: 10 December 2010 (USA) Cast: Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Paul Bettany, Timothy Dalton, Steven Berkoff, Rufus Sewell, Christian De Sica, Bruno Wolkowitch, Julien Baumgartner, François Vincentelli Movie: *** The Tourist - Movie Review The Tourist Movie About: Blame it on the hype. I suppose it is a bit churlish to say it but it must hold true when you can put Depp and Jolie in the same sentence and feel the burden of rising expectations and watch them crumble as soon as the two enter the same frame. Frank Tupelo (Johnny Depp) is the kind of tourist you wouldn't accord a second glance to in a place like Venice. Especially, if you're a woman like Elise Clifton-Ward (Angelina Jolie). He is so plain it's almost funny. Elise, on the other hand, gets all kinds of men tongue-tied and weak-kneed in her very presence. Why pick out Frank to get flirty with on a train to Venice...
