The Tourist
A reminder of the movies from the 50's where Johnny Depp would have been Cary Grant and Angelina Jolie would have been Audrey Hepburn, the film was a treasure of well-known actors in a decent romance-thriller. After seeing that the movie had received poor ratings, I wasn't expecting such an entertaining film. It was not as good as some of classics, however, it was a good choice for a family with teens to watch together.
I loved the beauty of Venice (which was as important of a character as Depp and Jolie) and a bit of Paris that made you wishing for more. Jolie is just delightful in her role as the femme fatale. I thought Depp played his role well - the man who was funny in a bit of a "fish out of water" way. Adding to that the casting of Timothy Dalton and Paul Bettany, and you end up with a good group of actors in the film.
The fact that this film got such poor reviews just reminds me that people have forgotten the simple pleasure in a film that doesn't include the main characters ending up in bed, gratuitous violence or unnecessary profanity.
