Review of The Tourist (2010) by Bob J — 04 Mar 2013

Two of the sexiest actors alive in a film that looks fabulous but is devoid of any oomph. In Hollywood's heyday this would have been a stylish rom-com thriller starring Cary Grant, but while there was plenty of style to this, there was no chemistry between the leads, no energy in the action sequences, little pace in the plotting and insufficient humour as the film progressed.

All that said it isn't quite as awful as many of the reviews would have you believe... I think most of them were products of disappointment given the cast involved. Had the same film been produced with a less well known cast it would perhaps have been better received.
