the tourist (movie outing)

A movie starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, why not? Sounds interesting. "The Tourist" is a remake based on a French movie, "Anthony Zimmer".

The overall movie experience.. seems like a whole lot of frames on Angelina as Elise, and yes, the director threw in a gratuitous shot of her showing abit of cleavage by the balcony, for the boys... and alot of Venice landscape, or rather waterscape, and oh.. not forgetting, the memorable Paul Bettany in a rather clueless role. Haha. Paul Bettany who was very noticeable in films like "Master and the Commander" and "Da Vinci Code", was casted as Inspector John Acheson. The bumbling inspector. And yes, there was Timothy Dalton as well! WoohOo! Mr Bond, indeed. I was wondering who in the living daylights was this chief inspector.. looked sooo familiar!

Johnny as Frank Tupelo is charming, acting out as a hapless tourist, but in the end, turns out to be the real "AP". Such thin, not very logical plot that is, non? As though Elise would surely pick him of all people seated in the train. I suppose if she didn't pick him, then the story will rewrite itself... and that, may be a good thing! Just a thought, but the movie would've ended in a more logical manner if Frank remained as, well.. just Frank, the math teacher from Wisconsin. That, will be a more plausible ending, and Elise can love two different guys. One from her past, and the present heroic Frank that she began to like.

Haha, go and see the movie if you like Venice, Johnny and Angelina. In that sequence.
