The Tourist (2010)

Nominated for three Golden Globes and no Oscars, this Action/Heist/Comedy/Adventure film was actually pretty fun. Maybe this was rumor, but I think that Angelina Jolie mentioned in an interview when asked what male actors she would like to work with but have not had the opportunity Johnny Depp. This project was then put together.

The film definitely seems slightly haphazard. Going through a dozen directors with a "quick shoot" in Venice doesn't exactly lead to great film making. Given what it was it was pretty good though. There is actually some good chemistry between the two stars and even though I'm sometimes skeptical of Jolie she was pretty good in this.

I think this movie might have done better in the summer, it is more of a fun easy summer watch than a winter awards season watch. I would recommend this to Jolie and Depp fans.

Vote: 7/10
