"Give me a break". Four words I said out-loud constantly throughout this movie.

I'm not taking it easy here. this movie does stink. The acting, directing, writing, editing, and action is all flat. I am so dissapointed. I expected a great movie.

The International is slow (yawn), boring (yawn), the script is flat and only offers disappointment. Naomi Watts's acting is non-existent, Clive Owen's character reminds of drying yourself with a cold damp towel after a shower - The International is slow (yawn), boring (yawn), the script is flat and only offers disappointment. Naomi Watts's acting is non-existent, Clive Owen's character reminds of drying yourself with a cold damp towel after a shower - painful. The only 1 star that this movie offer is the Architecture and locations. If that's your thing. Spend your money on a book on great buildings rather than having to sit through 2 hours of pure agonizing boredom.… Expand

This movie is one of those that you get more enjoyment from watching the one-minute trailer than the actual movie. The plot does not develop; The main characters never connected; We are basically led around the world in a mindless chase.

The script is dull and full of clichés like: 'Investigator: Why do you think he is going to cooperate ? Hero: because he is seeking redemption... Wow, that is deep and convincing ! The plot is predictable, no suspense and the The script is dull and full of clichés like: 'Investigator: Why do you think he is going to cooperate ? Hero: because he is seeking redemption...

The plot is predictable, no suspense and the only action scene (at the Gugenheim) is a parody were the bad guy joins forces with the good guy against an army of even worse guys.… Expand

C'est bien agréable de voir deux bons comédiens -excellents même- réunis ici (Owen et la charmante Watts) mais la bonne impression initiale se délite un peu trop vite dans ce thriller à grosses ficelles, certes bien réalisé mais qui ressasseC'est bien agréable de voir deux bons comédiens -excellents même- réunis ici (Owen et la charmante Watts) mais la bonne impression initiale se délite un peu trop vite dans ce thriller à grosses ficelles, certes bien réalisé mais qui ressasse beaucoup trop les clichés du thriller complotiste à la petite semaine.

C'est en outre souvent invraisemblable avec plein de raccourcis pour boucher les trous d'un scénario à la masse, pour ne pas dire carrément à la ramasse. Alors, une vilaine banque qui fait dans le trafic d'armes ? et le guidage de missiles par dessus le marché ?!... putain, vous êtes loin les mecs, redescendez, on est pas sur Pluton...!

Bref, cette enquête est plus ridicule qu'autre chose, ennuyeuse et fort décevante de la part du réalisateur du génial "Cours, Lola, cours" mais il faut croire que Lola était un superbe "accident" de parcours dans sa filmographie décidément très médiocre par ailleurs...… Expand
