Cast: Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Paul Bettany, Timothy Dalton, Steven Berkoff
The Elise Clifton-Ward (Angelina Jolie), following the precise instructions of her partner, Alexander Pierce, a notorious crook who hides leaves hastily Paris bound for Venice. Both the authorities and gangsters on their doorstep, so too the Pierce's request, the path to the Italian city to find someone who looks to outwit their pursuers. Like this, the light-hearted tourist Frank Tupelo (Johnny Depp), a mathematician who travels to the profession to overcome a sexual frustration, will fall on unsuspecting net of fascinating and mysterious Elise.
Let's start with the data of the film. This remake of the French «Anthony Zimmer» (2005), which in Greece came straight-to-dvd. Director of «The Tourist» Germany's Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. If that is the lengthy name you do not say anything, the first feature length will surely tell you: the acclaimed «The Lives Of Others» made great success and here. The script worked with Christopher McQuarrie and Julian Fellowes, who have distinguished themselves for «The Usual Suspects» (1994) and «Gosford Park» (2001) respectively.
In leading roles we find two of the hottest names in Hollywood, the Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, both capable of many things. As for the budget, is anything but parsimonious: $ 100 million, with filming in Paris and - most importantly - Venice. You read this and automatically generated expectations. But the reality is far. You can blame that Donnersmarck rushed to work in such a precise production. Maybe too focused his attention on how to manage the two bright stars to the 'show' beautiful, and ultimately lost. Maybe the actual story of the original film would not have much juice from the outset to be worked.
All that matters is, of course, adding here and in many heretical position signs, according to which 'The Lives of Others' was nothing more than an overvalued film and - therefore - the reputation that followed so long as director unnecessarily bloated.In essence, the «The Tourist» tour proved a cosmopolitan class wing with far tickler mystery suspense inevitably creates stale. Looks like Hitchcock slur in which the predominant element of surprise, either psylliasteis outset or - perchance - to catch, lead desensitized and - dramatic terms - fully operational matters. The history, theory, has a minimum interest. Each frame of Donnersmarck, however, is unbearably empty of characters. Passion and mystery between the two characters appear only in the first level.
Both Depp and Jolie embodies the paper two heroes, which is absent from the depth of the soul. Strong Jolie, the years which unfortunately beginning timidly to delete some scenes occurs as a style diva Sophia Loren, thus adding that the surrounding sense of old-fashioned and outmoded surrounding «The Tourist». The second Donnersmarck's film work, ultimately, only as a great disappointment, and the initial data specification. And - in addition to the below average reviews seconded - wonder what sort of dream they saw in the Foreign Press Association to honor three Golden Globe nominations (Best Comedy or Musical Film (?), Actor and Actress). Comedy in «The Tourist» can not say it, but it will hardly deny that this option humor Union beat red

ANOTHER MOVIE IS: BIUTIFUL
Directed by: Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Starring: Javier Bardem, Blanca Portillo, Ruben Ochandiano, Eduard Fernandez, Manolo Solo
Uxbal (Javier Bardem) learns he has cancer and it's still only 2 months of life. Act before leaving, to sort out the mess of his life. During this effort, wanders the slums and underworld of Barcelona, among immigrants, gangs and drug dealers.
The Uxbal has the misfortune to be the hero of Inarittu. This means that you will find a thousand myriad woes. Good day not to be seen ... and did not see! At 147 minutes the duration of a film so much is happening, frankly if some time out of his house and dropped a piano on his head and we made no impression! And the other characters but the film does not have a better fate. Each of them also a difficulty, each character and sorrow, all sorrow and tears. Some of them will remain standing until the fall, the end credits. Some have said? Write most. The body count of «Biutiful» racing to equal that of «The Expendables»!
The question is what serves the ultimate goal is the accumulation of suffering. We fear no one. Just the Inarittu swept by the charm of ... misery and destitution and resorting once again to a very fatalistic view of the universe, where redemption comes only when man accepts the mortality. To all that has changed since the interruption in collaboration with Guillermo Arriaga summarized in abandoning the fragmented narrative in favor of a more laminar, and the crowding out of the ordinary theme on global bond and interaction between human beings.
The shame of the matter is that we are dealing with a talented craftsman (and really as the construction of «Biutiful» does not have the slightest blemish, while in the nightclub scene is a mini-masterpiece) with a demonstrated ability to address actors (here the most important posts likely interpretation of Javier Bardem, a physical, highly balanced interpretation, which works beneficial to the film at times when the severity risk of being lost), which insists on the same depressing, emotional blackmail and 'sombre' movies. And if you change their course before it was just welcome, it is now imperative, if we do not want to get to the stage of accidental aftoparodias ...
