IMDb rates this less than 6 stars. Yikes! I gave it a friendlier, solid 7 stars. I thought this movie was fairly entertaining.
It's true, there's a certain "lifeless" quality to it. And a lack of chemistry between the two leads. That's bad writing. There really needed to be MORE dialogue between the main characters, and MORE WIT therein.
But otherwise, I enjoyed watching Johnny Depp play a dorky tourist. Also enjoyed Angelina Jolie controlling every conversation, like a cat playing with its prey before devouring it. It was cute.
For a simple, mind-numbing distraction, THE TOURIST is nice enough. It's worth the $1 rental, for sure.
