Intense...ly Dull

GammaPulsar from , 10th March, 2009

I watched this in the cinema with a few friends. Please, I beg of you, don't go and see this movie. It's only redeeming feature is a shootout in the Guggenheim in New York. Admittedly, it was a fairly good shoot out, but it's conclusion and result are confusing and badly thought out. The ending is appalling and absolutely pointless. In fact, the entire movie is appalling and absolutely pointless and, at points, painfully obvious. I repeat, do NOT pay money to watch this.

The International

Eyesrsore from , 7th March, 2009

At a time when world banking institutions are in freefall, are we to believe that these same people are capable of conducting a worldwide conspiracy? Owen does his best with a predictable and plodding script heavy on dialogue and light on thrills. Despite comparisons to Jason Bourne, the unshaven and mac wearing Owen is closer to Columbo with a gun, than Bourne. The multi locations don’t save this from being consigned to distant memory shortly after the end credits.

Average fare

GaryI from , 14th April, 2009

Very very average. Almost an attempt to see what Clive Owen would have been like as 007 (not good by this standard). Naomi Watts is wasted, the plot is awful and often depends on unbelievable coincidences. It's an OK thriller with some gunplay and one average setpiece, but do not expect too much.

DevilMayCare

DevilMayCare from , 21st July, 2009

I enjoyed it. The plot was unusual yet very believable and the film was well acted, with a good script and it lived up to it's name. Great performance from Clive Owen.

International Rubbish

jimbo1702 from , 5th November, 2009

This film is not worth renting. Turned it off after 30 mins....really dull. Doesn't grip you at all. I felt like I really didn't care about any of the characters and the story line was vague and unbelievable.

Competent and enjoyable

A Customer from Carmarthen, 5th November, 2009

We enjoyed this because the story was well thought out and the characters are mildly interesting. Whilst not a great film it is certainly not formulaic as so many of this genre.

Waste of an evening!

JacquiMK from , 2nd November, 2009

What tosh! Don't bother with this, it begins well enough but then there's a sharp decline. And Naomi Watts?? Back to acting school, love - and quick.
