I went to a pre-screening of the new movie ‘The Tourist’ tonight staring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp and I really liked it! I think it’s because the ending of the movie was SO good. You can tell it is the sort of script that studio execs read and the only reason they made it into a movie was because the ending was so great.
Angelina Jolie was flawless throughout the whole film. It felt like 80% of the focus of the movie was “how pretty can we make Angelina Jolie look?” I didn’t quite understand why her character had to be so “prim, proper, mysterious, snooty like” but whatevs. If you don’t try to analyze it, it works. When I saw the trailer, nothing about it excited me. I wouldn’t have gone to see it on my own if I hadn’t received the screening passes. But I walked away loving it! Go check it out if you can! The film has suspense, twists, romance, and action!
