The Tourist

You would think that casting Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp across from each other in this film would be enough to create a fair amount of sizzle, right? Wrong.

The “ultimate” pairing generate as much heat as an ice lolly. And it’s not just because Angelina resembles a very unsexy stick insect, or the fact that Johnny has the worst ‘do I’ve ever seen… No, it’s because the two take themselves way too seriously in a movie that was written with tongue firmly in cheek. If only they lightened up and played with their innate sex appeal a little more perhaps the result would have been much more memorable.

With that said, it’s not entirely dire. The plot is completely outrageous, the scenery gorgeous, and there are a few rare moments when Ange and Johnny strike the flint. A Mr & Mrs Smith, however, this is not. Brad must be relieved.

Rating: 3 outta 5.
