Critics Consensus

The scenery and the stars are undeniably beautiful, but they can't make up for The Tourist's slow, muddled plot, or the lack of chemistry between Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.

This series is fabulous. I love the actors and the characters they portray. I don't find the plot to be muddled. The story is great. The cinematography sucks. There are so many dark scenes where you x can hear but not see what's happening … even changing from one locale to the next … still dark. Annoying.

I LOVED it 14 years ago; and LOVED it again when had opportunity to enjoy it again recently. It is a joy to watch. I appreciated the storyline. & thought it superbly directed. All the actors were fun to watch. A lot of heart went into the making of this beautiful film, that is apparent. .

The Age (Australia)

A bland, badly directed, star-driven cinematic molestation of Jérôme Salle's tight-as-a-drum 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer.

Rated: 1/5

This should be a potent combination, but it turns out to be a fizzer.

Deep Focus Review

With a dash of humor and some Hitchcock-esque directorial flourishes, the film’s scenario could have been fun. But the production takes the lazy approach and leaves the viewer palpably aware of it.

Rated: 2/4

Keith & the Movies

But even with its good-looking cast and locations, “The Tourist” is too shallow, too flat, and ultimately forgettable.

Rated: 2/5

The Tourist is not an absolute debacle, and was able to entertain a tolerant audience. [Full review in Spanish]
