Review of The Tourist (2010) by Ben S — 09 Jan 2012

Sadly even Johnny Depp can't save this sub average 'thriller' that plays out as if it's been adapted from a cheap paperback. Angelina Jolie (looking even more like a crude female totem come to life) gives a dull performance.

Which coupled to the complete lack of chemistry between the leads and dialogue that's mediocre in extremis led me to lose all interest within the first twenty minutes. Production values are so glossy that I felt layers of varnish could start oozing from the screen and smother the first few rows of the audience.

The only decent thing in the whole movie was the Muse track played over the end credits. But I only heard a couple of seconds of that because as soon as the screen faded to black, I bolted for the exit.
