      What to know

      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. Read critic reviews

        The plot doesn't make sense, but the scenery is nice to look at.

        The Tourist is an exotic espionage thriller that's quite fun and entertaining. While on vacation in Venice, Frank Tupelo is mistaken for a mobster named Alexander Pearce when he's picked up by Pearce's mistress, and ends up on the run from gangsters and Scotland Yard. Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, and Paul Bettany form a solid cast and deliver great performances. There's a certain charm to the story, and it's able to be clever and intriguing as the events unfold. Additionally, the film is directed well, with a smart pace and beautiful locations. Some parts may seem formulaic, but The Tourist is a sleek and enjoyable film.

        Like any very attractive woman, Elise Ward(Angelina Jolie) has more than her share of admirers. But in her case, it is professional, with the police wanting to know the whereabouts of her lover, Alexander Pearce. She doesn't know either but a note delivered at a Paris cafe, telling her to catch a train to Venice, provides clues. In the confusion, she gets away while all Inspector John Acheson(Paul Bettany) has to show for his efforts is one rather confused waiter which does not make Chief Inspector Jones(Timothy Dalton) happy in the least. The other part of the instructions call for her to pick a random stranger on the train to sit next to which turns out to be Frank Tupelo(Johnny Depp), a schoolteacher from Wisconsin, who is also flattered at the attention. Now, if the cops were the only people out to get Pearce... I'm not disappointed that Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck chose a lightweight project to follow up his first film, "The Lives of Others," with. Rather, what I find especially disappointing about his second film "The Tourist" is how lacking in suspense it is, when in his first film, he showed a particular skill at creating suspense out of the most mundane moments, some of which involving typewriters. And Angelina Jolie does not command the room the way a beautiful woman should. That leaves it up to Johnny Depp to take "The Tourist" on his shoulders and run with it which is just enough for some of us most days, even with the possibility that none of this makes a lick of sense.

        "The Tourist" is a very poor movie. Of course, it represents Hollywood at it's worst. The movie was never intended to have any value. It's sole purpose was to cash in on the star power of Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. There is no way that this script would have been brought to life without those names attached. "The Tourist" is as lazy as film-making gets. It's slow, uninspired, predictable, and downright annoying. Speaking of the attached star power, this is just a phoned in performance by Depp and Jolie. They play the same roles that they always do. Brace yourself for this one, Angelina Jolie is engaging in espionage! But isn't Jolie a spy in every one of her movies? Strangely enough, with as much practice as she gets in these roles, she never turns in a believable performance. When Johnny Depp isn't trying, he normally portrays a quirky character that ends up in-over-his-head, and that's exactly what you get here. It's astonishing that nobody figured out that thrusting Depp and Jolie into their comfort zones would result in zero chemistry. Then again, you have to remind yourself that nobody making the movie cared if it was entertaining. Then it all makes sense. "The Tourist" is generic garbage, that I strongly urge you to avoid. If you're a die-hard fan of Johnny Depp or Angelina Jolie, you have to start watching better movies.
