Reviews of The International 2009
-
Over-looked and under-rated. It had me hooked from the start, being an extremely tense thriller, despite Naomi Watts being rubbish. Clive keeps you going, however. A determined mood, most certainly.
Sadly, there is a shoot-out and I'm sorry, but you don't need a shoot-out for the film the be full of action. Up until this point, the action comes from Clive's face alone and this scene signals a downturn in proceedings. From this point on the plot gets a bit…

Was playing on the movie channel in my Hotel room. Not a bad way to kill time!

Naomi and Clive are teammates) Love them!

Muodinmukainen globaali trilleri, jossa kuvauslokaatiot on ripoteltu Luxemburgiin, New Yorkiin, Berliiniin ja Milanoon. Talouspoliittista shaissea snadisti liikaa.

Just a big mess. The entire plot is a deep abyss of nothingness and could be simplified much better and become much more effective to the viewer. And it drags out way too much. It is just shy of 2 hours but I feel like it's been over 4 hours. Clive Owen doesn't really do anything special and overall the acting is incredibly mediocre. Unless you have a lot of free time or your heart set on seeing it, it's definitely a skip.

Καταπληκτική ταινία, απλά θα χρειαστώ άλλη μια προβολή να διαχωρίσω τους συνδέσμους των κατασκόπων γιατί ύπηρχε ένα μπέρδεμα.

Feels like a Bourne light action thriller, only with a lot more thriller than action. I like Clive Owen and obviously Naomi Watts so the cast is alright, although it looked like Owen is a bad runner. Maybe I need more evidence just to be sure though. Some nice shots, I believe the scene in the end takes place at the exact same place as the motorcycle chase in Skyfall. At one point in the movie I was able to…

Šis tāds gudrais triļluks, kur visu nerisina ar granātām un automātiem vien. Nē nu ir jau arī šaudīšanās un action, jo citādi jau nebija jēgas filmā piedalīties Klaivam Ouvenam, bet tik un tā šis gabals ir galvas tiesu pārāks par vidējo statistisko šaudīkli. Te ir starptautiskas banku mahinācijas, sazvērestības un nelegāla ieroču tirdzniecība, pasūtījuma slepkavības, spiegošana un pat valsts apvērsumi. Tā teikt nopietnu vīru nopietnas likmes pa visu pasauli un nav ko ar sīkumiem ķēpāties. Džeimsa Bonda cienīgas spēles, tikai mazliet ticamākas, cik nu tas vispār šādās filmās ir iespējams.

The Guggenheim sequence was obviously the highlight, well-staged and shot. Everything else was ho-hum or worse. Most notably on the negative ledger: Naomi Watts was terribly miscast--not tough enough to be believable in her job. Worse though was the writing, which throws out more one-line "words of wisdom" than not, a tactic that becomes downright egregious as the film progresses.

I dagens kapitalistiske samfun opplever vi en stadig voksende skepsis mot de rike og mektige der de farter rundt i sine svindyre biler, beveger seg helt i grenseland av de nasjonale lovene og kommer unna med økonomiske krumspring normale folk hadde blitt tatt for. The International må således sies å være et realistisk og tankevekkende blikk på samfunnet.
Ingenting er vanskeligere enn å lage en realistisk og troverdig thriller basert på dagsaktuelle situasjoner. Man skal være forsiktig med å skape…
