The Tourist starring Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie & Paul Bettany. Feat. Rufus Sewell, Timothy Dalton & Raoul Bova.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Paris, France. Elise Ward (Angelina Jolie<\/a>) is a mysterious, beautiful woman with the Scotland Yard after her. \u00a0The Yard is really after Alexander Pearce, who owes quite a sum in tax money. The investigation is run by John Acheson (Paul Bettany<\/a>), who is obsessed by catching Pearce. His chief Jones (Timothy Dalton) is not all that pleased with how much the case is costing them.<\/p>\n

Pearce is rumored to have gone under severe plastic surgery, so no one has a clue what he looks like. Knowing this, he sends Elise a note. He tells her to get on the train to Venice and sit down next to a guy that has his built and height. Elise picks Frank Tupelo (Johnny Depp<\/a>). Tupelo is a math teacher from Wisconsin and is mesmerized by Elise\u2019s beauty. Elise seems to like Frank too but she is more interested in using him get to Alexander, the love of her life.<\/p>\n

This encounter leads them to a luxury hotel suite in Venice, and some fun action happening on the water\u2026<\/p>\n

The Tourist is a fun romance\/adventure that has a pretty impressive cast. Hell, even the mysterious English guy following Elise around is played by Rufus Sewell and the Italian man chatting up Elise at the ball is the famous Italian actor Raoul Bova.<\/p>\n

Now, I was expecting the movie to have a similar pace and action\/romance\/comedy ratio with Knight and Day starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz<\/a>. It doesn\u2019t. It starts like a spy movie, but quickly turns into a romance film. You might feel the movie drags for 10 minutes or so, when Johnny Depp is acting like a bewildered love sick puppy, but worry not. The movie picks up pace, the funny situations become more apparent and fun boat & roof chases follow…<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s not call it a drama\/thriller like IMDB did. It is a romantic adventure. And it is a little slower than Knight and Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But all in all, it is a fun movie. It combines the genres that I like, presents them at the adorable Venice setting and well, an adorable cast. Sure, it could have been faster, sexier and\/or funnier. And it might not have interested me that much without such a cast. But it is what it is.<\/p>\n

7\/10 from me.,<\/p>\n
