The scenery and the stars are undeniably beautiful, but they can't make up for The Tourist's slow, muddled plot, or the lack of chemistry between Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.

Movie Info
American tourist Frank (Johnny Depp) meets a mysterious beauty who drags him into a dangerous world of intrigue and espionage while traveling through Europe in director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's paranoid thriller. When Frank met Elise (Angelina Jolie) on the train, he thought it was a chance encounter. Little did Frank realize it was all part of a much bigger plan, one that would soon find him dodging bullets through both the historic streets of Paris and the winding canals of Venice.

"Sure, the plot is preposterous, but the two stars look great, the scenery is spectacular and the supporting cast is a hoot."
Top CriticIn a year of craptaculars, The Tourist deserves burial at the bottom of the 2010 dung heap.
As for Depp, his character makes so little sense that he can hardly be blamed for blinking his way through the movie with an expression of blank-faced puzzlement that recalls Dan Quayle in the 1988 vice-presidential debate.
What should have sizzled fizzles.
Jolie! Depp! Romantic locations! Intrigue! Some movies sound too good to be true. The Tourist is one of them.
The Tourist merely asks you to sit back and enjoy the ride, and then makes that task a breeze.
A creaking "star vehicle" for two stars who should have known better, and maybe had a little chemistry.
[The Tourist] is very entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable from the very start and doesn't let up until the screen goes black, which is something that very few films are able to pull off nowadays.
Overall an interesting and at times very gripping film, but one that perhaps could have done with taking a few more risks
It's a self-conscious attempt at a Hollywood caper with the mix of comedy, romance and conspiracy watered down to the point where you can see straight through it.
Depp and Jolie together create a chemical black hole. They couldn't produce sparks with dry hair and a comb.
The Tourist certainly looks fabulous - as befits the setting, the stars and the gorgeous costumes . The trouble is that Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's movie is far too elegant to break into a sweat ... The viewer's pulse doesn't quicken.
Something has gone really, really wrong here.
I'm afraid the stars' vacation videos are probably more interesting than this poorly handled mistaken-identity caper, which isn't funny enough to be a comedy or dramatic enough to be a thriller.
... somehow this lavish light thriller stumbles through the set pieces and bobbles the star chemistry.
An incredibly dull low-key thriller barely driven by its two A-list leads.
On paper, The Tourist sounds like a dream film -- two of the hottest actors alive, in a charmingly frothy romantic crime caper set in one of the most beautiful cities on earth. So why didn't it come alive on screen?
The Tourist is best considered an expensive travel ad for Venice rather than the sexy, action-packed, sassy thriller we were all hoping for.
The Tourist is a mildly pleasant cinematic journey.
Teria sido melhor acompanhar a viagem da personagem em tempo real até a cidade italiana do que vê-la percorrendo sonâmbula as maquinações estúpidas de um roteiro sabotado pela falta de entusiasmo de um cineasta com preguiça.
Hampered by its lack of narrative tension or palpable sense of romance.
About as much fun as standing in line at Customs for hours after a long-haul flight.
Whenever Jolie entered a room, I found my attention wandering to the European extras, whose heads keep turning to watch her. They seemed far more enchanted by her than I was. Maybe you had to be there.
It is disheartening on a profound level to see a group of talented actors and filmmakers come together at the height of their powers and produce something of such soul-killing drudgery as The Tourist.
While this farcical thriller can certainly be classified as a no-brainer, it is only on the grounds of sustained mindlessness that the tag truly sticks.
It's a beautiful film to look at. Unfortunately for The Tourist, looks ain't everything.

- Elise Clifton-Ward: It's the um... the Roman god, Janus. My mother gave it to me when I was little. She wanted to teach me that people have two sides. A good side, a bad side, a past, a future. And that we must embrace both in someone we love. And I tried...

- Elise Clifton-Ward: What for?
- Frank Tupelo: Aha.
- Frank Tupelo: Oh do you mind me smoking, it's not a real cigarette, look! It delivers the same amount of nicotine, but the smoke is water vapor.
- Elise Clifton-Ward: That's somewhat disappointing.
- Frank Tupelo: Would you rather have me smoking?
- Elise Clifton-Ward: I'd rather you be a man who does exactly as he pleased.

- Elise Clifton-Ward: It will do.
