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.

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."
In 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.
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.
Puzzling identities, double-crosses, and rooftop chases? Perhaps. The Tourist is far more compelling in a playfully sensual state, fixating on chemistry rather than uninspired thriller mechanics.
The steamy and barely restrained cat and mouse chemistry between Jolie and Depp is palpable throughout. And laced with stylishly provocative wit and charm, in an enigmatic tango between the entrapped nicotine nut and predatory love junkie in charge.
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.
Another disappointing movie, seems to be the year for it i guess!You couldnt get any better than two of the finest hollywood actors to come together in one movie with a superb supporting cast and then the movie to still be the rubbish!great location and scenery but i went to watch a romantic thriller and that isnt what

Two of the hottest A listers make the most boring movie ever. It had potential, great actors and beautiful setting. Promising but didn't deliver. Johnny plays a maths teacher on holiday in Italy. He thinks his luck is in when he meets Angelina. She gets him involved in some dangerous pursuits. Good cast but average
