Gallivanting Across Europe in High Heels and High Dudgeon

It takes a big man to hold the screen level when Angelina Jolie is around — usually the whole thing just tilts in her direction as soon as she struts into the frame. Her partner in crazy-time fame, Brad Pitt, helped keep the balance in “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” their only film together. And now Johnny Depp tries to do much the same in “The Tourist.” Going for muted, eyeliner- and nearly irony-free, he plays an ordinary American who bumbles into a Continental intrigue, which looks like a film you’ve seen before, because you have.

You know that movie. It’s the one in which Cary Grant and Grace Kelly don’t just travel by train, they also trade knowing looks in the first-class dining car as the waiter fills their glasses, and a shady type secretly takes their photo. The people behind “The Tourist” would like you to flash back to 1955 — as Ms. Jolie’s wardrobe of long gloves suggests — a risky strategy, given that you actually might. The truth is that it takes an exceptional director to prevent an entertainment as flimsy as this from collapsing under its own weightlessness. Alfred Hitchcock pulled it off with Grant and Kelly in “To Catch a Thief,” a bauble that sparkles like a jewel because of the world-class scenery, its stars included, and because of, well, the directing.

Stargazing is the only reason bonbons like “The Tourist” are made, dreams of box office bonanzas aside. But stars need just the right setting and a director who knows how to make them shine, as Steven Soderbergh does with Mr. Pitt and George Clooney in the “Ocean’s” franchise. The director also needs to hold his own, which, from the generic look and feel of “The Tourist,” clearly wasn’t the case with Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. He does put personality into the occasional scene, including a mysterious, hushed interlude in which Ms. Jolie stands with her back to the camera as Mr. Depp creeps up from behind — lover or stalker, you’re not initially sure which — before pulling her close for a hungry kiss.

It’s a nice idyll among a wash of clichés that include Russian muscle in service to a big meanie, Shaw (Steven Berkoff), whose quest for stolen loot leads him to Elise Ward (Ms. Jolie). A mystery woman of rare ability (she can pick a lock and wear off-the-shoulder gowns), she eludes Shaw while dodging assorted law enforcement agencies, including Scotland Yard, where Paul Bettany and Timothy Dalton curl stiff upper lips. Elise pauses long enough to slide into a train seat opposite Frank Tupelo (Mr. Depp), who, after gulping at his good fortune, explains that he’s a vacationing Wisconsin math teacher (as if!). Dinner leads to drinks leads to complications, including hailstorming bullets and a few sluggish boat chases in the Venice canals.

Hollywood has a long history of collecting (and devouring) European directors, but Mr. von Donnersmarck was an odd choice for froth like this. A few years ago he attracted some attention for “The Lives of Others,” a 2006 drama about an East German couple being spied on by a Stasi officer. Here, his main job seems to have been to find new and flattering ways to shoot Ms. Jolie as she catwalks from Paris to Venice in soaring heels. He tries to invest this adoration with some self-conscious wit, mostly by having all the men in the movie gawp at Elise as if she were as much a supernova as the one playing her. But all this genuflection — she parts one crowd as Moses does the Red Sea — feels forced rather than mischievous.

It must be tough for Ms. Jolie to find roles that fit. Off screen she remains a fascinating presence, but on screen she now tends to overwhelm her roles and even her movies. Like every memorable screen star, she still has a face you can get lost in, with its push-pull of hard, jutting angles and well-endowed lips. It’s a face built for extremes, though early on she could also make it work for somewhat smaller, human-scaled roles that were nonetheless tricky for her. Superheroes and superfreaks have long been her truer calling, one reason that “The Tourist” seemed vaguely promising. When she first appears in a come-hither outfit and a small private smile, she looks ready for liftoff. She never ignites, and neither does the movie.

Mr. Depp doesn’t fare better with a role that forces him to play meek and disappointingly mild, despite a few screenwriter-supplied tics. (Mr. von Donnersmarck shares writing credit with Christopher McQuarrie and Julian Fellowes.) A brilliant character actor and accidental movie star, Mr. Depp has rarely been persuasive playing average. He likes tunneling into his characters, preferably under a thick smear of makeup and flamboyant threads, which is why he’s never made sense in mainstream romance. There’s no place for him to hide with Frank, so he stands around trying to look hapless as Ms. Jolie grabs the lead. There’s definitely some amusement in watching her come to his rescue, a role reversal the movie only flirts with. But oh how much more fun it would have been if Mr. Depp had really played the girl, eyeliner and all.

“The Tourist” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Bloodless violence.

THE TOURIST Review

Matt's review of The Tourist. Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, the film stars Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, and Paul Bettany.

Twist endings are a tricky proposition.  When executed successfully, they give the film a bravura finish that will have people talking for years to come.  But that's rare.  More often than not, they leave the audience confused and frustrated.  The Tourist is a charming albeit forgettable trifle of a film that chooses to throw an unnecessary and maddeningly stupid twist at the audience.  It's a twist ending that not only blows up in the movie's face, but blows it's face clean off, turning a pretty veneer into a mangled pile of "Are you kidding me?' and "That makes no goddamned sense."

The film begins with the financial crimes unit of Scotland Yard trailing Elise Ward (Angelina Jolie), the most beautiful, confident, and well-attired woman in the world.  Possessing the beauty of a goddess and a look that screams "I will never have sex with you," Elise is trying to throw the cops off her trail so that they'll stop chasing her husband, Alexander Pierce, a mob banker who stole billions from his boss.  The British government is in on the chase because 744 million of that amount belonged to them (why the mobster has that money is never explained).  Despite their surveillance, Pierce is still easily able to communicate with Elise through letters and he informs her that she needs to find a stranger with his height and build so that the cops (who don't know what Pierce looks like) will trail the poor stranger.  It's an elaborate set-up for what seems like a minor diversion.

On a train from Paris to Venice, Elise chooses her stooge by sitting across from Frank (Johnny Depp), Wisconsin's handsomest yet charmingly-befuddled community college math teacher.  Frank is, naturally, beguiled by the mysterious Elise but it turns out that the cops aren't the only one after Pierce.  The mobster (Steven Berkoff) and his goons are also chasing down Pierce and because of a case of mistaken identity, they're now after poor Frank.  It's a charming premise that begins to lose steam as director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck seems more interested in capturing the beauty of Venice rather than developing the characters or devising exciting chase scenes.

But up until the twist, The Tourist is a satisfactory diversion.  While the visuals make The Tourist ultimately feel more like a tourism video for Venice (provided you're ridiculously wealthy) than an attempt to better tell the story, Depp and Jolie acquit themselves well at their roles.  Jolie's confidence is staggering and you can see the joy Elise takes in grabbing an entire room's attention with nothing more than a grin.  It's also nice to see Depp playing an everyman rather than the bizarre outsider he usually portrays.  Frank is a charming character and he gets solid laughs every time he speaks Spanish as if it were Italian.

And then the film makes its twist and ruins just about everything that came before.  I'm going to have spoil what happens in order to explain why it's so bad, so if you're still interested in seeing the movie, please stop reading now.

Okay, so here's the twist: Pierce is actually Frank.  Midway through the film, we learn that Elise is actually working for the financial crimes unit but has been suspended.  She was working undercover in order to reveal the financial misdeeds being conducted by Pierce on the behalf of the mob, but instead she ended up falling for him.  At the end of the film, Frank reveals to Elise that he's actually Pierce.  And since he's got the money, the two get away with it.

The twist makes no sense.  Even if we assume that Elise doesn't know Frank is Pierce until the end of the movie (and it's possible she could have known from the beginning when you consider how poorly the twist is implemented and explained), his actions make no sense.  In order to avoid the cops, he puts himself and Elise in the crosshairs of the mob.  Furthermore, their behavior towards each other is inexplicable.  "Frank" is trying to woo Elise so Pierce is actually testing his wife's love even though she cares for him enough to follow any instructions he sends her and doesn't seem to care about her career or that he's a thief.  The twist turns Frank from a lovable everyman caught in larger-than-life circumstances to a manipulative schemer who was playing everyone from the start.

Perhaps we could derive a modicum of pleasure from Frank's deceit if we saw how he was pulling the strings the whole time.   Most movies with a twist ending like to show you how clever they are and will cut back to all the clues showing that you should have figured it out from the start, you gigantic dummy.  The Tourist doesn't even bother.  Instead, Elise makes a quip about Pierce's new face, and they set sail with all the money they stole.  No flashbacks or even a cursory argument of how Pierce chose to deceive her and make her his puppet.  In the end, Frank's a liar, Elise is corrupt, they get rich off stolen cash, the cops decide to drop the case, and they all lived happily ever after.  That's not a bad ending for a biting satire on post financial-crisis America, but it's a miserable way to close out what's mostly a light-hearted romantic thriller.

The Tourist: Is it a comedy? A thriller? Even the stars are confused

The Tourist is notable for many reasons. Number one is that, following Salt, it's the next step of Angelina Jolie's masterplan to only star in films that have impenetrably generic titles – coming next, presumably, will be A Painting Of A Horse, The Woman Who Did That Thing Once and Fleurgh.

Number two is that this is the first time Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp have ever starred in a film together. Last time Jolie starred in a film with a man this attractive, she eventually ended up having his babies, so the implication seems to be that The Tourist will also crack with so much unbearable sexual tension that childbirth is both the realistic and only conclusion.

Number three is that nobody seems to know what The Tourist actually is. Is it a thriller? A comedy? A romance? Luckily, the trailer for The Tourist came out last week, so we can comb through it for clues ...

1) This is a good indication of genre. We're on a train whizzing through Europe, and Angelina Jolie is in full glamourpuss mode. Judging by the surroundings and the look on Angelina's face, The Tourist has got to be a thriller.

2) Or maybe not. Here's Johnny Depp in the same situation - on a train whizzing through Europe - except he's pulling a dopey comic facial expression. So I'll change my vote. The Tourist is a comedy.

3) Except, oh, here's Angelina in a Venetian water taxi, and she has the same mysterious expression as before. Perhaps Johnny Depp was just throwing a curveball. This definitely looks like a thriller.

4) No, wait. Johnny Depp is also still pulling the same funny face as before. Look, I don't care if The Tourist is a comedy or a thriller any more - I'm so confused that it would just be nice to know if Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp were actually even making the same film here.

5) OK, so they definitely were making the same film, but that hardly helps any more. This is all in black and white now, like a wartime romance. God, I'm so confused.

6) Right, the decor and technology in this scene proves that The Tourist is absolutely not a wartime romance at all. What's more, Johnny Depp is still pulling a face like a cartoon cow. And he's usually right with his instincts, so if he says it's a comedy then it's a comedy – a fact that will be backed up by ...

7) A murder? A murder involving Steven Berkoff, a fancy drawing room and a length of measuring tape? This wasn't what I expected at all. It's actually quite depressing. Johnny Depp couldn't possibly react to something as profoundly upsetting as the deliberate loss of human life with ...

8) Ah, yes he is. It's the same gormless face. Maybe it's stuck. Maybe playing Jack Sparrow four separate times has caused Johnny Depp's face to be stuck permanently in the family-friendly dim-wattage 'wuh-oh!' expression. Maybe we should be lucky that he doesn't literally dress up like a pirate and fistfight an octopus at any point during the trailer. But still, something should be done to alter this. Angelina, do something to snap him out of this groove.

9) Fine. I was going to suggest clapping your hands or shouting at him, but if you think that taking your bra off will do, then go ahead.

10) Oh Angelina, what have you done? You took your bra off and now Johnny Depp has crashed his boat and he'll probably die and we'll never find out what sort of film this is supposed to be. A fat lot of good you are, Angelina. A fat lot of good.

YOU GUYS PLEASE LOOK AT A PHOTO OF THIS DIRECTOR IT JUST MATCHES HIS NAME SO PERFECTLY IM CRYING OVER THIS

Review by DirkH ★ 9

Jolie + Depp = utter piece of crap.

Who'd have thought?

The director obviously didn't.

He has a funny name.

It is more entertaining than the film.

That's a bit sad.

But also kinda funny in an ironic way.

Review by Jake Cole ★½

What a gorgeously photographed slide show of the cast's all-expenses trip to Venice.

Review by Michael James ★★

You got some beautiful locations and a leading duo in Johnny Depp - Angelina Jolie trying to outdo it with their charm, but unfortunately neither the storyline nor narrative has anything to offer you that is interesting enough and ends up as one tiresome watch. Such a wasted opportunity.

Review by rubbybells ★½

There was more chemistry between Paul Bettany and some burnt pieces of paper than between the 2 leads

Review by max ★★

one star for angelina and one for venice.

Review by C4rlo5 ★★★★ 2

“I’m having dinner, if you’d care to join me.” Shit I love this one, I don’t know why is it the average rating that low (2,6 ⭐️). I really wanted it to fool me, I was just wishing it… just let it flow, you probably know what’s next, but you really want it to be that way… haven’t you ever had that feeling??

I highly encourage you to check this movie out and let me know if it deserves such a low average rating , and if it does you can call me an average beginner of cinema… I mean it has its flaws but it has its charming too .

List of movies I watched from Amazon Prime Spain 🇪🇸

Review by nabeel ★

never letting my mom pick movies again

Review by gabi ★★★★

i can’t judge frank because i too would risk my life for angelina jolie

Review by Dawson Joyce ★★ 4

It's well-acted, well-shot, and has occasional moments of intrigue, but The Tourist unfortunately suffers from a painfully obvious plot twist, a muddled and nonsensical script, dull pacing, and little to no chemistry between leads Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.

Review by Jim ★ 5

Why is Johnny Depp wearing more make-up than Angelina Jolie?

These are the only words I can be arsed to type about this horrendous waste of everybody's time.
