Default The International

I did not like the trailer for this movie. An thriller about an all powerful international bank? But the reviews were fairly good so I rented it and was pleasantly surprised.

It is NOT a non stop action movie. It has a few action sequences but is more of a slow building tale of intrigue.

I used to hate Clive Owen, but after Children of Men am now a fan.

Anyway, if you are into this kind of movie, it aint bad. Don't go in expecting non stop car chases. One shootout in the movie is pretty good though.

i still hate clive owen...other than sin city i dont think i like a single movie he's been in
as for children of men, i have a hard time believing that scientists wouldn't be able to figure out why women could no longer get pregnant, but other than that it's a pretty good movie
i haven't seen the international because he is the main character

I enjoy watching clive in whatever he does. the international has only one decent shootout, i agree. it is a forgettable movie, aside from clive i find no reason to recommened it. 1 outta 10 due to clive and the museum shootout. not worth crossing the street for.

i seem to be the only one who thought children of men was ridiculous. the whole premise of the movie was just absurd to me...i like clive ok though, he did a great job in closer

It was ok. They only think that was cool was the archtecture of the locations.

I thought it was really good. At just about 2 hours, I never lost interest and found the plot good. I would recommend it for sure.

I was going to mention Shoot em up.

I loved it. just a brainless excuse to create new ways of killing people. Plus it has Monica.

I somehow prefer Owen to Statham. Never been a big transporter fan.
