Leave your thoughts about The International.
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonA tough sell due to its ambition, complexity and the fact that its action is contained in a single, crazy mid-film burst; still, a perfectly good, engrossing adult espionage drama even if it doesn't take a full, hearty swing at greatness. |
| Big Picture Big SoundJoe LozitoTaut conspiracy thriller is elevated above the ordinary thanks to Tom Tykwer's sharp direction and a typically rock solid performance by Clive Owen. |
| The eXileEileen JonesThe International continues in this tradition of telling us what we already know to our sorrow. Somebody tell us something we don't know! |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceTake away the Guggenheim shootout and we've at least got Clive Owen at half throttle. Take away Owen and there's nothing left but the tired old mystic cabal of sadistic sorcerers. |
| Denver PostLisa KennedyThe International is a sleek, engaging example of a peculiar form of escapist entertainment, a favorite, in fact: It's a thriller that eases us away from our present worries without fully erasing a resonance with life beyond the multiplex. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkReal life aside, The International is a compelling and suspenseful thriller that features one of the best shootouts of the decade. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfA handsome thriller, just not a riveting one, turning the potential for an unsettling thrill ride with real-world ramifications into a passable nail-biter more interested in the art of protracted conversation than portioning out punches. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedThis movie is a fiction -- and it makes no sense at all. |
| At the MoviesBen MankiewiczA sleek conspiracy thriller from German director Tom Tykwer. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyTorn from the headlines, Tykwer's globetrotting thriller is a mixed bag: It benefits from its timely concerns but is not dramatically engaging and suffers in comparison to the Bourne franchise. |
