Review of The Tourist (2010) by Ingela A — 01 Mar 2012
A remake of a 2005 French film 'ANTHONY ZIMMER' which starred Sophie Marceau and Yvan Attal. The American remake is co-written and directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmark. He also directed the critically acclaimed German film 'THE LIVES OF OTHERS'. which was a master piece so it's very strange that the directing here is pretty weak.
The Tourist weaves its way through an odd mixture of romantic, comedic, and mysterious elements. There is no problem with a film that embraces multiple genres, as long as it can do so effectively (which it doesn't).
Even though Jolie's and Depp characters are not the most realistic, I can't help enjoying the way they try to make their best out of it with a twinkle in their eyes...
