| Original Score: C | Feb 18, 2012

A bland, badly directed, star-driven cinematic molestation of Jérôme Salle's tight-as-a-drum 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 27, 2010

This should be a potent combination, but it turns out to be a fizzer.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 22, 2010

The tone is lightly comic, the dialogue flirty and amusing but the performances are unengaged. There's no floor of reality, as there always was in a Hitchcock film, even his light confections.

| Dec 22, 2010

What's not to enjoy?

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 15, 2010

The damn thing's been soundtracked within an inch of its life. Whenever Ange glides into a room it sounds like a concert harpist's having a coronary.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 13, 2010

While I did enjoy much of Depp's performance, and while Jolie emanated a radiant beauty that jumped right off the screen, neither generated a bright enough spark to make up for the script's numerous shortcoming.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 11, 2010

In a year of craptaculars, The Tourist deserves burial at the bottom of the 2010 dung heap.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/4 | Dec 10, 2010

As for Depp, his character makes so little sense that he can hardly be blamed for blinking his way through the movie with an expression of blank-faced puzzlement that recalls Dan Quayle in the 1988 vice-presidential debate.

| Dec 10, 2010

What should have sizzled fizzles.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 10, 2010

Jolie! Depp! Romantic locations! Intrigue! Some movies sound too good to be true. The Tourist is one of them.

| Dec 10, 2010

The Tourist merely asks you to sit back and enjoy the ride, and then makes that task a breeze.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 10, 2010

To see Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie in The Tourist is like watching a chemistry experiment gone horribly wrong.

| Original Score: D+ | Dec 10, 2010

Unfortunately, this is one of those movies with a twist ending that turns a character inside out, revealing earlier scenes to be essentially fraudulent and more or less invalidating one's emotional investment in the story.

| Dec 10, 2010

To battle the logic of the film would be to swat flies in a hurricane.

| Original Score: D | Dec 10, 2010

Star power can cover up a multitude of shortcomings in a film. Turns out stupidity isn't one of them.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 10, 2010

My mother is going to love this movie.

Full Review | Original Score: D+ | Dec 10, 2010

So deficient in the genre's essentials - such as witty dialogue, intriguing characters and surprising yet credible plot turns - that you're embarrassed for everyone involved.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 10, 2010

Von Donnersmarck, who brilliantly depicted government surveillance in East Berlin before the fall of the wall in his earlier German film, astonishingly can't even find a way to make Interpol's spying interesting here.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 10, 2010

The high wattage of stars Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie cast the film in a spotlight that would be unflattering for most movies, least of all an insubstantial, tension-free thriller like this.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 10, 2010
