Flat-footed would be Hitchcockian man-in-the-wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time thriller
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
THE TOURIST (2010) ** Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Paul Bettany,
Timothy Dalton, Steven Berkoff, Rufus Sewell. Middling espionage
romantic drama with Depp attempting to channel Cary Grant as an
American abroad who winds up being seduced by Jolie a mystery woman
involving them in an elaborate espionage tale that flounders thanks to
the inert script by the usually reliable Christopher McQuarrie and
Julian Fellowes, while director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's
leaden direction falls flat-footed in an attempt to be Hitcockian,
despite his leads natural charms and physical attributes in the
romantic Venice environs.

Wasted Star Power
I was quite disappointed with The Tourist. I like both Angelina Jolie
and Johnny Depp but this was not the best vehicle for them. First I
thought Angie's talents were wasted. If she is billed as a mysterious
woman/possible spy I am anticipating some action. She was just the sex
pot in this movie. Her character could have been played by any
attractive female actress. I missed the opportunity to see her cunning
and strength.
I don't know what they were trying to do with Johnny's character, make
him less attractive? He is supposed to be just a regular guy but all I
kept thinking is why doesn't he have a haircut? Will somebody please
shave him? It is a given that he is a beautiful man it was distracting
to have him looks so disheveled. The way his character was written does
not make me think Johnny Depp. I believe it was miscast. Johnny is a
strong dramatic actor as shown in Return to Neverland and of course his
comedic and acrobatic/action chops are solid in the Pirates of the
Caribbean series. Here both actors were wasted.
The story was o.k. But the most disappointing thing about this movie
was the lack of heat between Angie and Johnny. When her character seems
to fall for his it is totally unbelievable. My only thought was why? I
expected fireworks on the screen between the two of them and I got
nada.
The most confusing of all was what type of movie was this? It has been
nominated by the golden globes in the comedy category. Really where?
Yet the trailers bill it as an action, thriller. Neither category was
done well in this case. It was not an exciting action movie or a
thriller and definitely not a comedy. The screenwriters seemed to just
throw a little bit of this and a little of that into the story to
attempt to cover all the bases. Regretfully, it missed the base and I
miss the price of admission I paid.
