(1 - 37) of 37 OFCS Rating: 62% Fresh Page   1   "Boasts great location shots and an incredible gunfight at the Guggenheim Museum, but it's Clive Owen who earmed my most rapt attention here."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker B "Real life aside, The International is a compelling and suspenseful thriller that features one of the best shootouts of the decade."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark C+ "A handsome thriller, just not a riveting one, turning the potential for an unsettling thrill ride with real-world ramifications into a passable nail-biter more interested in the art of protracted conversation than portioning out punches."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf C+ "A distant cousin to Daniel Craig's second Bond outing ("Quantum of Solace"), "The International" is still worth seeing for fans of the genre."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 7/10 "Tom Tykwer's thriller shrewdly introduces Lou (Clive Owen) as he observes rather than acts."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3.5/5 "If you're going to make a movie about homicidal bankers, you don't get extra dividends for exaggerated body counts."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger C "Right... 'cause what we really need right now is a movie about the unstoppable inevitability of bank corruption."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher B- "Makes its mark as an action pic with its elaborate set-pieces."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "For every burst of energy or eye-catching visual, the film doubly shoots itself in the foot with listless pacing and dreary thematics. Ultimately, it isn't worth the effort to get to the good stuff."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B- "It's a good-lookin' movie, with much to recommend it, even if it doesn't quite raise hairs or stop hearts the way you want it to."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "The International could have turned out to be a prescient statement about our times instead of one that increasingly droops our eyelids just when it should be opening them."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress "It's not a bad thriller, but it's dispiriting to see the gifted Tykwer doing the Ridley Scott fandango"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce C "It's a mildly intriguing political puzzler, but never manages to engage the heart as well as the head or make your pulse race as it should."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "The International possesses the look and feel of a thriller, but not the heart or soul of one."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "a relatively engaging, if not terribly convincing, variant on the evil corporation thriller"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/5 "The International plays less like a modern action thriller and more like a conspiracy-minded '70s flick -- think Three Days of the Condor or The Parallax View."   AMCtv.com   James Rocchi 5/10 "[Plays] itself as a mystery/thriller with something profound to say at the end, when we've pretty much heard a lot of this already."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 3.5/4 "Taut conspiracy thriller is elevated above the ordinary thanks to Tom Tykwer's sharp direction and a typically rock solid performance by Clive Owen."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito "The International is strewn with wild improbability, but that hardly deters from its appeal."   Film.com   Jonathan F. Richards 2/5 "Emfanos aposteiromenos gia to proto toy taksidi sto Hollywood, o Tom Tykwer afinei ton Frank Griebe, ton fotografo toy ap' tin epohi toy Trekse, Lola, Trekse (1998), na bgalei oli ti doyleia"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 4/5 "See it for Owen's trademarked thinking cap and glower, the Guggenheim, the score, and the smugness of knowing first-hand that banks are actually much, much stupider than any movie could ever predict. Check it out, it's a fun time."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery B "Tykwer's film is a bit chilly, but working with long time cinematographer Frank Griebe, it is stunning to look at, and Lou's determined need for justice will find plenty of audience empathy."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "The timing of this smart, savvy thriller couldn't be better..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "The whole indeed proves to be greater than the parts thanks to Tykwer's direction."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 3/4 "Unlike many recent thrillers, it's not disposable. Days after seeing it, the film is still on my mind."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "Director Twyker seems much more interested in the architecture of the world capitols the characters chase through than in having anything of much interest happen there."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 3/5 "Tykwer demonstra conhecer as convenções básicas do gênero espionagem ao trazer uma atmosfera de intriga internacional à narrativa."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3/5 "This international conspiracy thriller is like a Robert Ludlum movie without Paul Greengrass"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "Filmmakers talented enough to deliver the best shoot-out since Ronin shouldn't have to settle for the otherwise mediocre results on display here."   Mania.com   Rob Vaux C+ "A methodical, but workable suspense film with one big action scene."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "The enormous behind-the-camera crew makes it a rich looking film that is easy to watch. Too bad the routine story brings it down a notch."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford B- "... for all its impressive set pieces and breathless momentum, it's neither passionate nor urgent."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 4/5 "traces its bloodline back to the paranoia peddlers of the 1970s"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 5/10 "Frenetic and far-fetched, it's an intense, often incoherent indictment of insidious capitalism."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 5/10 "There are dashes of style here and there that almost threaten to make the movie halfway worthwhile."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 1/4 "an exact replica of The Interpreter in every way that counts and is, therefore, completely, immanently, blessedly forgettable."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 37) of 37 OFCS Rating: 62% Fresh Page   1
