The Tourist revolves around Frank (Depp), an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. Elise (Jolie) is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Venice, Frank pursues a potential romance but soon finds himself the pursued as he and Elise are caught in a whirlwind of intrigue and danger.This movie was fun. But not the type of fun you would expect. It's really not too actiony at all. And at times I definitely felt as though I should be bored - but I wasn't because a good amount of tension and intrigue was there without being able to "see" it taking place. Not sure if that makes any sense. The chemistry between Depp and Jolie was very believable. There was good laughs sprinkled in with the witty script and it was nice to see Depp playing a "normal" guy for once. No makeup. No crazy costumes. Just him. I feel like you would have to go back to 21 Jump Street at this point to find that.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It's a nice, light watch that you can just kind of sit back and enjoy for a little less than two hours.
