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.

1/5
A bland, badly directed, star-driven cinematic molestation of Jérôme Salle's tight-as-a-drum 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer. Go to Full Review Philippa Hawker The Age (Australia) 12/22/2010

This should be a potent combination, but it turns out to be a fizzer. Go to Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 12/22/2010
The tone is lightly comic, the dialogue flirty and amusing but the performances are unengaged. There's no floor of reality, as there always was in a Hitchcock film, even his light confections. Go to Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia 5d
4/10
It's a dull, tedious romantic thriller with clumsy twists, serving only as a banal pretext to reunite the chemistry-less couple Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp amidst cosmopolitan elegance. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 08/03/2023
2/4
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. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 08/27/2022
2/5
But even with its good-looking cast and locations, “The Tourist” is too shallow, too flat, and ultimately forgettable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Zane T @ZaneThind Jun 6 Am I the only one who liked this movie? I remember watching it with my brother and sister and we all had a good time watching it. Sure the pacing was slow but I think Depp and Jolie were delivering good performances. I even fell for the shock ending where it was revealed that Depp and her made the plan together all along.

See more thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 11 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Pedro Henrique C @Pedro2005 Aug 27 The Turist (2010) is just a really confusing movie that you can't fit any piece into this crazy puzzle. The star-studded cast isn't enough to get a five-star audience for this.
