The International


   This was a good dramatic thriller. Anything with Owen though is a good watch. It was nice to see him in something a little less comic then he has done in awhile. For some reason I found this film graphic. There aren't any body parts being strewn around or people being hacked up, but there was an awful lot of blood. My only complaint is this poster. I can't figure out why Watts is on it... she wasn't even in the Guggenheim. I also liked this because they showed some city shots of Istanbul where you can see the Hagia Sophia. As well as the painting of the Lamentation. I don't know who painted that one though. I thought Sting could actually act. It just didn't end the way I thought it would. I really don't want to give it away. I'm looking forward to Clive Owen's next film Duplicity coming out next week. The movie was missing something. I just can't quite place what it was that was missing.
