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.
