International, The


Rating = B-

This movie has great scenes of cities and buildings and a great action scene in the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Clive Owen is suitably driven and rag tag in the lead role as an Interpol investigator; Naomi Watts role as a New York City district attorney is not much of a role for her despite her co-star billing. Banks and bankers are the villains, which is certainly apropos today in 2009. The movie ends with a little individual justice and (also apropos) a bleak assessment of the future.
