The Tourist

Ratings: 6.6/10
Film Class: B+
Genre: Romantic Drama

Alright, before I even start, here's some advice... I wouldn't term this an action movie because the action sure is minimal. I had thought it would be some intense spy movie but it turned out that that storyline was secondary to the primary love gist.

A mistaken identity about an American tourist in Venice results in undesirable consequences for him. Meant initially as a decoy, approached by an attractive and mysterious woman, the American tourist gradually falls in love with her.

It's no Salt, no Mrs Smith and no Captain Jack Sparrow. It's similar to Before Sunset, where two strangers meet up on a train and the entire movie revolves around them. The scripting wasn't good and the pickup of the plot was slow paced as well. However, the setting compensates for all that. In essence, it felt like a movie made just to display Venice's beauty and based on an important twist in the movie, the director hoped to deliver a more than mediocre experience to his audience. He failed for the latter.

Well, not a perfect trip, not a perfect trap, I guess the only perfect thing about the movie was the astounding beauty of Venice.
