Review of The International (2009) by Jens S — 29 May 2011
Tom Tykwer's Hollywood debut starts out great. The conspiracy thriller does pull the right strings in the first 30 minutes, making the viewer as angry about this corrupt bank as Clive Owen's character, who is determined to take it down, no matter what.
Things stay interesting and engaging up to a really cool shoot out at the Guggenheim museum. Sadly, after that the film falls flat somehow. Things kind of dissolve into nothing in the end, offering very little of a solution or satisfaction.
Of course, the film is really well made and acted. If only it had ended with a bang.
