It's a movie starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp shot in 2010. Angelina Jolies plays Elise, an undercover agent of Interpol who fell in love with Alexander Pierce, whom she was supposed to shadow and get information about. But since she spent a year with him and fell for him she didn't pass on any useful information. Therefore she was suspended, but Interpol is still watching her in case Pierce catches up with her again. When he does, he gives her instructions to find a random stranger on a train and make Interpol think it's him. She decides on Frank (Johnny Depp) and because of the way she's treating him they think it really is Pierce. So the next day Frank gets into some serious trouble because, of course, not only Interpol is looking for Pierce but also a gangster boss.
The only good thing about that movie is the beautiful location, Venice.
Neither Angelina Jolie nor Johnny Depp are acting good and there is absolutely no chemistry at all between them! The whole movie is moving on in such a slow pace, I almost fell asleep. It is called a thriller, but for me a thriller is a movie where I sit straight up with my fists clenched because I cannot believe what's happening. The Tourist, in contrast, is slow and boring. And even in the end, when finally all the entanglements are solved, I was almost laughing because it was so ridiculous!
When I heard it was nominated for several Golden Globes I couldn't believe my ears! There are so many REALLY good movies, which would have deserved an award and didn't even get nominated. The Tourist only got it's nominations because of the cast, if you ask me, and if you've seen some movies with Jolie or Depp you simply know, that they are capable of much more.
I was really disappointed by this film, and I only managed to get through it because I was making fun of it with my sister from the minute it started.
