The International User Reviews

Clive Owens and Naomi Watts had good chemistry, which always helps make a film endurable. I found the movie to the pretty good, not Clive's best of course, but I thought it was better than just average. For people who have trouble catching pertinent dialog... try turning the captions on, it helps catch every word, which matters in some of these thriller-action-type movies.

Good movie, very straight forward!! Awesome events unfolding... you need to follow up with details, Shoot'em all scene was awesome!, Names of countries and IBBC seem to be real, I just wonder how real the Story is?!! If it was that would be scary... In the END, good movie to watch if you like Politics and World Wide Events...

This movie was great. There were so many events unfolding, and if you don't keep up with the plot you can get lost. It exposed so many levels of corruption. Society either is numb too or just ignore. Conspiracy and corruption was uncovered you cant but wonder, how deep, and how to get out from its influence. it is a ********** film and challengs you to think.

Clive Owen was good. What was Naomi Watts in there for? I like Armin Mueller-Stahl and I know he is getting old but, he needs to speak up! I could barely hear him. Initially thought it was going to be good but it fizzled out and I was bored. The shootout scene was fun to watch though hardly believable. Clive, what are you doing? Your last three movies sucked! Get back to the films with solid characters like King Arthur, Derailed and Inside Man.

This was long, quite boring and too unbelievable. I agree with other postings here that Naomi Watts seemed to be an afterthought in the film. I'm giving it two stars because Clive Owen is really fun to watch and although the shootout in the Guggenheim was absolutely ridiculous, it was fun nonetheless - also, I liked the end it just wasn't worth the trip. I wanted to like this but ... not so much

IT'S A WANNA BE REMAKE OF THE BOURNE LIKE MOVIE. CLIVE IS GOOD - BUT THIS MOVIE IS HARD TO FOLLOW AND SO STUPID AND WAY OVER THE TOP IN PLACES - A NEW YORK CITY DA STARTS AN INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION?? YEAH LIKE THE HEADS OF THESE COUNTRIES WILL TALK TO NY POLICE. RIDICOULOUS PREMISE. NAOMI WATTS WAS STUCK IN THE MOVIE LIKE A SORE THUMB - SHE HAD NO REASON AS A NY PROSECUTOR TO BE IN AN INTERNATIONAL FILM AND SHE'S MARRIED so THEIR IS NO ROMANCE. All said - there are a few good scenes at the end -if you like the International intrigue - but it just could have been BEEn DONE SO MUCH BETTER! what a waste of a good story. The shoot out scene was ridicioulus - they are one minute undercover and secret viliians and the next they are shooting up a huge gallery... LOT S of holes in the plot - JUST SHOUL D HAVE BEEN DONE BETTER. see it on DVD

Decent movie, but kind of hard to follow at times. I don't strongly recommend this movie.

Given the direction Naomi Watts' performance was, as always,flawless right on the money. Natural and compelling. She gave the film a sense of reality. She keeps you watching.
