The International = BAD MOVIE

If you have a fetish for architecture 'The International' is the film for you. Clive Owen and Naomi Watts spend the whole film walking in or out of spectacular buildings. The best sequence, and possibly the only exciting part of the film, is a gun fight shot within New York's famous Guggenheim Museum. Without the handful of stunning visuals present in 'The International' this film will bore your socks off, and leave you questioning WHO the main characters are (in the sense of personality, back story, and personal involvement). Owen and Watts waste there respective acting talents bringing one sided characters to the screen, their characters are only viewed in relation to immediate events. There is no character development, and the film is no 'Syriana.' In the end the story is simple and without twists, while trying to make a larger political point. Unfortunately that point is lost in architecture and bad movie making.
