Editorial Reviews

Clive Owen and Naomi Watts star in Run Lola Run director Tom Tykwer's action thriller concerning an ambitious Interpol agent who targets corruption at the top levels of the world's largest banking institutions. The world's most powerful banks have become hopelessly corrupt, prompting Interpol agent Louis Salinger (Owen) and Manhattan assistant district attorney Eleanor Whitman (Watts) to follow a dangerous money trail from Berlin to Milan to New York and Istanbul. But as determined as Agent Salinger and ADA Whitman are to ensure that justice is served, their targets are equally determined to ensure that war and terror continue to propagate so the powers that be can continue to profit. John Woo, Terence Chang, and Jeff Lurie executive produced the film, which was penned by emerging screenwriter Eric Warren Singer. Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A FABULOUS THRILLER WITH SMART VISUAL EFFECTSby Anonymous

Reader Rating:
See Detailed Ratings

December 21, 2009: I believe that Tom Tykwer is somewhat underrated as a film director. I've seen three of his other films and I'm always fascinated by the kind of visual presentation of storytelling that he comes up with. I can't say that I was really impressed by the dramatic elements of this film even though I believe the film was well cast. That was about my only complaint. The various locations of this film are simply exotic and the action scenes are thrilling to say the least. I like the way the story moves visually and how it stimulates one to think about our world.

Clive's Exceptionby Anonymous

August 15, 2009: If it takes an exception to prove a rule, this film is the one that proves Clive Owen movies are fun to watch. I don't know why, really. I like Clive Own. Naomi Watts isn't bad, and the other actors don't do a rotten job.

The script is mildly interesting. I kind of like spy-type movies in European settings. There's some action, to boot.

Maybe it's the directing. Maybe it's the editing. Whatever it is, this movie doesn't have it.

I bought this movie because B&N was having a sale, and I like Clive Owen films. I gambled and lost. For a film where I gambled and won, see "Shoot Em Up".

    Several scenes of astonishingly grim real-world violence: A poisoned man vomits and falls to the street; the friend who rushes to help him is hit by a car. A political figure is shot; the assassin is then shot by authorities. A character is hit by another car. A tense, bloody shootout in a public place results in grisly, blood-spurting deaths and terrified innocent bystanders. Viewers also see a person fall to their death, stabbings, and point-blank shootings. Close

  • Consumerism:

    Visible brands include Marlboro cigarettes, the Mercedes logo, the Blackberry logo, and some brands/manufacturers mentioned for plot reasons, like Silkworm missiles and Vulcan guidance systems.

  • Drugs:

    Some smoking and drinking by adult characters.

  • Language:

    Strong language includes several variations of "f--k," some use of "s--t," and "for Christ's sake." "Ass" and some variations are also used.

  • Messages

  • Sex:

    A fleeting caress on the cheek between two co-workers hints at sexual tension.

What Parents Need to Know

About TheInternational

Parents need to know that this thriller about financial corruption probably won't be on most teens' must-see list. Just as well: Not only is it full of wrenching action sequences and grimly realistic (and shocking) violence, but it also has a deeply cynical, hard-to-stomach attitude about the possibilities of finding justice in a wicked world and the interplay between high finance and street-level warfare. There's also some drinking and smoking and strong language (including "f--k") -- but virtually no sexual content.

Families Can Talk About

Families can talk about whether the violence in this movie seems more realistic than in other thrillers. Why or why not? Do you think watching realistic violence in the media has more impact than sci-fi/fantasy action? Families can also discuss whether situation in the movie seems realistic. Is it upsetting to think of institutions like banks being involved in illegal activities? Is the movie more unsettling given the current state of the economy? Also, is there ever a time when it's appropriate to go outside the law to deal with a crime? What consequences could that have?
