In reality, Venice isn’t that pretty. A movie full of faking and intrigue where you have characters and a viewer. Depp is pleasantly dumb and Angelina unusually noble, but there’s just no chemistry between them. Even though a couple of nice scenes and good camera offer beautiful (but fake) shots of Venice, Henckel von Donnersmarck didn’t do a good job here.

The Tourist is a film that wants to be exciting, romantic, irresistible and clever, but it’s just bland. At most, it has a nice retro feeling. As a marketing-driven movie, it’s not boring, but it still makes you feel that you only paid for an exhibition of stars, costumes and Venice. A VERY hesitant three stars.

The whole movie was actually about mocking the naive tourist and the fancy dresses that accentuated Elise's beautiful background:-) About halfway through the film I was thinking OMG, who decided to totally destroy Johnny Depp...but then came the lovely, if somewhat predictable, ending and I clapped, smiled, and said Bravo, you wicked movie :-) A beautiful 4 stars.

This film really captivated me, especially with its depiction of Venice, which I also visited during the premiere year of this movie. Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie definitely don't deliver a great spectacle, just a somewhat action-packed film that's occasionally a bit funny. However, that's still quite little for something to be indelibly etched in one's memory.

For no reason, a permanently serious looking Angelina gets on a train and, following the instructions of her criminal mastermind boyfriend, picks up a random sod (Johnny D), who will find himself up to his neck in trouble. This is the setting for either a brisk conspiracy thriller or a thrilling adventure comedy, but not both! That’s exactly what the script tries to do, but the result is a boring circus that sinfully squanders the talent of its two stars. I don’t like Angelina and Johnny very much, but they do have good films under their belts. The creators of The Tourist, unfortunately, were satisfied with having both stars on the screen – no need for acting. The shocking twist takes the previous events to a completely new dimension that definitely puts the film in the category of “second-rate WTF crap”.
