Theatrical report
The International is not as much fun as you'd think it would be given who's in it. It's also not very surprising (look at the major premise: banks are evil) for a thriller. Also, there's not a red herring or blind alley in sight and I have to ask just how many international assassins have an orthopaedic support and live in the same city as the person who's trying to catch them? I also have to mention handguns with more bullets than an entire regiment. Yeesh.
The action, crime, thriller movie The International is directed by Tom Twyker and stars Clive Owen, Naomi Watts, Armin Mueller-Stahl.
