The Tourist

"A movie that falls down on every level."

"The Tourist is like a beautifully decorated shop window - with no shop behind it."

"Do anything. Arrange an appointment in Sumatra. Go to the moon. At all costs stay away."

"A waxworks version of chemistry."

"Like a beautifully tailored suit that starts to smell funny after a few minutes, this sumptuous but stultifying lark sets up a quasi-Hitchcockian intrigue between two strangers abroad, but smothers any thrills or sparks in a haze of self-regard."

"Hot stars in a hot spot - but this Tourist is a trap, striving to conjure a mood of suave romanticism but feeling rushed, harried and workmanlike."

"Jolie 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."

"There's a way to make a movie like The Tourist, but Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck doesn't find that way."

"Staggeringly misjudged in virtually every department, from the wannabe effervescent script to Johnny Depp's dopey hairdo."

"If you just want to look with admiration and Johnny and/or Angelina – and why wouldn't you? – this offers the full scenic tour, but it's one of those frustrating almost-good films which never really catches fire."
