Jolie + Depp = utter piece of crap.
Who'd have thought?
The director obviously didn't.
He has a funny name.
It is more entertaining than the film.
That's a bit sad.
But also kinda funny in an ironic way.

Why is Johnny Depp wearing more make-up than Angelina Jolie?
These are the only words I can be arsed to type about this horrendous waste of everybody's time.

The laziest, most boring, roll-your-eyes-worthy film I have seen in a long time.
-
really? I hope this movie for Depp was the equivalent of sniffing coffee beans when shopping for fragrance. Like, he thought he was actually one of Tim Burton's characters and needed something to bring him back to normalcy. I even burst out laughing when the end credits rolled and Muse started playing.

Oh dear! "I know. let's put two of the 'hottest' movie stars together in a film with no plot, style, substance and a plot twist you can see coming from a 100 miles away, while blindfolded"!

Very soon into The Tourist it becomes quite obvious just how much it wants to be a glamorous old fashioned caper, what with its beautiful Venezian setting, Angelina Jolie slinking her way around the whole picture in dresses that cost more than your mortgage and Johnny Depp as a modern-day, bemused Cary Grant figure way out of his depth. The problem is that throwing a few eggs into the bowl doesn't automatically make the omelette... and The Tourist is lacking in pretty much all the ingredients that should have brought it together.
It's hard to blame Depp, really, because he's way too good an actor for the drip of a character he plays as Frank the math teacher here, served…

I'm not really into giving bad reviews but this is the worst movie I have ever watched. I like Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie but I found the whole movie pointless.

Venezia is great, the film isn't

One of my favorite actors + One of my favorite actresses = 100 minutes of boredom leading up to a "surprise" ending that myself and everyone I know guessed 10 minutes into the movie.

Zeggen dat de productie van ‘The Tourist’ niet gevrijwaard was van enige productieperikelen is als zeggen dat het kerkelijk doopsel het voorbije jaar aan betekenis heeft ingeboet: zowel Lasse Hallström, Bharat Nalluri (‘Miss Pettigrew lives for a Day’), Alfonso Cuaron en Florian Henckel Von Donnersmarck waagden zich aan een stoelendans met als inzet het regisseurszitje, Tom Cruise, Sam Worthington en Charlize Theron stonden ooit op de loonlijst en zowat de halve ingeschreven scenaristengilde heeft het scenario van deze fletse thriller in de handen gehad. ‘The Tourist’ (een remake van de Franse film ‘Anthony Zimmer’) is dan ook een typische stuurloos Hollywoodproduct die alle kanten op stuitert. Te verwachten: een derderangs Hitchcock-derivaat waarbij alle thema’s van de grote meester (de zwoele…

For all it’s faults, I find myself liking the movie. It’s completely ephemeral, but I was entertained when it was on. I’m not entirely certain why, since it doesn’t excel at any one element enough to actually praise it at that. It’s just a fun piece of fluff. But there are certainly worse things to be.
