Review of The International (2009) by Matthew C — 06 Jan 2010
I am a sucker for these crime thrillers, as long as they work, and this one does on most levels. there are two scenes in the film that lack common sense, but aside from ever so slight flaws this is an incredibly well thought out and engaging film.
thankfully tykwer resisted the urge to bournize his main character so that the film plays out more like the good crime thrillers of the 70's. the cinematography was a pleasant surprise, and the script was mostly solid.
this is one of two very underrated films for 2009 starring clive owen, and his other was even better.
