The International
Dir: Tom Tykwer
2009
***
The International is never over the top and never unrealistic, it is a grown up sort of thriller but if your a big Bourne fan then you may feel a little disappointed. Personally, I felt it was a breath of fresh air that the genre needed and you certainly can't go wrong when you cast Clive Owen and Naomi Watts (well, most of the time anyway). Okay, so it doesn't have the unexpected twists and turns that many a modern thriller does but when you start to think that the plot is very feasible, then it gets a little scary and that is where it succeeds. I thought it was pretty good but that said, I think Tom Tykwer is a director who can do better and I don't think this is him at his full potential.
