Has anyone seen the new Clive Owen thriller, International? It's getting lukewarm (although not excoriating) reviews, but the presence of Owen goes a long way to mitigate a mediocre script.
What's with all the "I" titles and political thrillers anyway? The Insider. The Interpreter. International. I'm sure I'd forgotten some.
Owen's also shot a movie with Julia Roberts called Duplicity, where they're playing spies/ex-lovers bent on out-scamming each other, which looks like it might be frothy fun, unless you hate JR with the death of thousand burning supernovas.

I saw it and I'd say the reviews are about right. I liked the first two thirds of the movie, but then it lost me with all the exposition and nonsensical narrative, which kinda pissed me off because I was enjoying myself up to that point.
I guess you could summarize it as Bourne Lite. Visually, it's very pretty with the different locales.

It'll be like Mr. & Mrs. Smith only without the pesky dithering about which one you want to win!

She brays in the trailer. It's horrific.
I like the director of International so I was thinking I might see it. But his movies haven't grabbed me for 5-10 years.

It is. Even my overwhelming lust for Clive may not cancel out the horror that it JR is full JR mode.
