A Review: The International

 

If you read this blog, you'll understand that I think know that Clive Owen is the man. End of it. Director Tom Tykwer is supposedly on his way to an all-star cast in his next film, Cloud Atlas. He's a man of of particular taste; intrigue, corruption, thrills all involve themselves in his works. I've heard some good stuff about his debut, Run Lola Run, staring Franka Potente from the Bourne series. He shows the same intensity and patience here, using the strengths of Clive and Naomi well--until it all falls apart in the last 3 minutes.
