The International
Studio: Columbia Pictures
Starring: Clive Owen, Naomi Watts, Armin Mueller-Stahl
Rating: R
Runtime: 118 minutes
The International asks the very timely question: do you know where your money is going? In a time of national economic crisis, it seems fitting that a film like this would hit theaters now. As Interpol agent Louis Salinger (Clive Owen), seeks to stop a bank’s funding of terrorism, the pulse-pounding, action-laced backdrop provided by director Tom Tykwer is just what Owen needs to make this film thoroughly enjoyable. –dewayne rogers
