Re: The Tourist
You know, I watched OUT OF SIGHT again yesterday and it really reaffirmed that you just never know who will have chemistry. Who knew that Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney would have amazing chemistry and Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie would have absolutely none? I wonder if CASINO ROYALE would have been a bad film if Eva Green was never cast and some lame actress like Olivia Wilde played Vesper.

Re: The Tourist
My sister actually bought the DVD for The Tourist. I was kinda "meh" about the whole thing - I think Depp was going through the motions and there was no chemistry between them (despite the plot requiring there to be some for it to even be believable).
Jolie had her moments in this, but it sure was no Mr. and Mrs. Smith.Ken Kerns

Re: The Tourist
This film suffers from so many problems, it's not even worth trying to tally them all. But I will say one of the bigger ailments of THE TOURIST was the casting of Depp. I love Johnny and will pretty much give an film he's in a chance...but one look at his filmography and you'll note he's not well versed in playing "normal," i.e. your average joe protag.
He seems most comfortable immersing himself in the lunacy of Hunter S. Thompson or Jack Sparrow or the Mad Hatter, etc. So for him to ostensibly play the straight man is a role (I feel) he's simply not suited for.

Re: The Tourist
When Depp tries to play "normal" he looks incredibly bored. I've been noticing for yrs.
CHOCOLAT (that is not a good performance), that Polanski thing... even something like SECRET WINDOW are examples. If he uses his own accent & wears street clothes, chances are he's sleepwalking thru the performance.
I'm gonna rent THE TOURIST cuz I like Jolie & I'm studying the genre.
