Elise (Angelina Jolie) sits next to an American tourist, Frank (Johnny Depp), on a train going to Venice. She has chosen him as a decoy, making believe that he is her lover who is wanted by police. Not only will they need to evade the police, but also the mobster whose money her lover stole.
Revolves around Frank, an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. Elise is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path.
It&#39;s not a Hollywood blockbuster, and that is in it&#39;s favour. I loved this film. I am a fan of Depp in all his genres and Jolie too, having been so since I met her at Heathrow in the BA lounge a few long years ago.<br/><br/>It&#39;s a return to the trans-European train riding, gun blazing, espionage and cold-war spy romp done with the sort of humour Depp excels at with the sultry tease but action packed character brought to life by Jolie. Think Mrs Smith on a solo mission in Europe.<br/><br/>The story is setup aboard the Lyons to Venice TGV with most of the action taking place in Venice, ala James Bond on the waterways, with a definite tongue in someones cheek.
I remember hating the high school literature papers we needed to do in our classes, trying to put in our words what the author intended to say in his masterpiece. That is why I usually avoid posting reviews here, they remind me of this time and all the effort that went into trying to say what was already so obviously stated and also so personal as an understanding. But I am trying here, because I find it strange to see how little we are used to think these days with our own brains. We expect to see (and may be feel) what we already have known or have seen and felt, we expect everything to taste and smell the same while there are so many different aspects that we might miss waiting for the so well known to come and make us happy once again. <br/><br/>I have to admit I saw the movie twice. The first time, it was before one year approximately, I sort of reacted as most of the viewers here, who rated the movie quite low and expressed their negative feelings towards all that was in the film- plot, director, actors, etc. But the second time around I was actually very pleasantly surprised. There is an old saying that everything new that you see is something old (or at least not exactly new), but you are seeing it with new eyes. That is what happened with me and this movie. I couldn&#39;t read all the reviews here, but I saw several that would sound like me after viewing &quot;The Tourist&quot; for the second time. To me the film now looks like a very smart and visually appealing interpretation of some older ones, mostly spy-related, a la Raymond Chandler stories. <br/><br/>The setting is overall very beautiful, colorful and rich, all the places and the whole atmosphere. The act is also quite good, seeing from this new point of view. But the biggest surprise for me came from the ending! Have someone though about the role of the Englishman in the whole story? May be I am slow in my understanding, but to me now it looks like the real main character, who choreographed the story, was exactly that Englishman, performed by Rufus Sewell. And Depp&#39;s character was exactly a tourist, just intended to become the decoy. If I am right assuming that than no wonder most of us missed all the beauty in the first place. &quot;The Tourist&quot; for me is a very well done film in the traditions of the real movie making, with so delicate sense of humor and even irony, that makes you smile long after the end titles. The only thing I actually did not like both times was Angelina Jolie. I see nothing appealing in a woman that looks like will collapse every minute out of hunger, or at least out of a severe weakness. She plays alright, but looks scary even in that wonderfully chosen wardrobe. Especially when I saw her in the wide shots. The rest of the actors were stunning!
There's a way to make a movie like The Tourist, but Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck doesn't find that way.
While on the train from Paris to Venice, American tourist Frank Tupelo (<a href="/name/nm0000136/">Johnny Depp</a>) shares a seat with Elise Clifton-Ward (<a href="/name/nm0001401/">Angelina Jolie</a>), a beautiful but mysterious British woman. They strike up a conversation, have dinner together, and Elise invites Frank to share her hotel room. However, Frank is actually being set up. Elise has been ordered by her ex-lover, Alexander Pearce, who stole 2.3 billion dollars from British gangster Reginald Shaw (<a href="/name/nm0000925/">Steven Berkoff</a>), to board that train, pick out a man who resembles him, and make it look like this man is Pearce in order to throw off Shaw and his Russian thugs, who believe Frank is really Pearce, as well as throwing off Scotland Yard, who knows Frank is just an innocent decoy but also wants Pearce for tax evasion. The Tourist is a remake of <a href="/title/tt0411118/">Anthony Zimmer (2005)</a>, a 2005 French film written and directed by French film-maker Jérôme Salle. The screenplay for The Tourist was co-written by American screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie, English screenwriter Julian Fellowes, and German filmmaker Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (who also directed). Agents from Scotland Yard have been following Elise, hoping that she would lead them to Pearce. Having no photo of him but knowing that Pearce has recently undergone facial reconstruction surgery, they assume Frank is Pearce and photograph him having dinner with Elise. Yard Inspector John Acheson (<a href="/name/nm0079273/">Paul Bettany</a>) receives the photo and does a face recognition, discovering that Frank is indeed Frank Tupelo, a simple math teacher from Wisconsin. However, an informer within the Yard notices the photo, concludes that it&#39;s a true photo of Pearce, and forwards it directly to Shaw. Shaw then turns around his private jet and heads to Venice. While Acheson holds Frank handcuffed in their surveillance boat, Elise goes to the Fondamenta San Giocomo to keep her rendezvous with Pearce, not knowing that she is being followed by Shaw and his thugs. They take her captive and threaten to kill her unless she shows them where the safe is hidden. Although both Acheson and Frank can see everything that it going on via audiovisual link, Acheson refuses to heed Frank&#39;s pleas to get Elise out of there, because he is certain that, if he holds out long enough, Pearce will show up. Elise eventually points out that the safe is hidden behind a wall medallion of the Roman god Janus but she doesn&#39;t know the combination to open the safe. Once again Shaw threatens to kill her, and once again Acheson refuses to intervene. Suddenly, Acheson detects movement in the courtyard and sees who he thinks is Pearce attempting to rescue Elise. It turns out to be Frank, having picked his way out of the handcuffs and fled the boat. Claiming to be Pearce, Frank tells Shaw that he will open the safe if Elise is first released, but Shaw refuses to release Elise until Frank opens the safe. As Frank walks toward the safe, Elise mouths, &quot;I love you.&quot; Back in the surveillance boat, Chief Inspector Jones (<a href="/name/nm0001096/">Timothy Dalton</a>) suddenly boards and overrides Acheson&#39;s command, giving the police snipers the order to shoot Shaw. Shots ring out, and Shaw and his three thugs lay dead on the floor. Meanwhile, the police report that they have captured Pearce, but he is revealed to be just a tourist who was being paid by someone he didn&#39;t know to be at certain places at certain times. With everyone distracted by the tourist, Frank opens the safe, leaving behind a check for £744 milion, signed by A. Pearce. In the final scene, Frank and Elise sail away together. Elise says to Frank, &quot;Twenty million dollars&#39; worth of plastic surgery, and that&#39;s the face you choose?&quot; &quot;Do you not like it?&quot; Frank asks. &quot;It&#39;ll do,&quot; she replies. It&#39;s revealed that Elise was sent to Russia as an undercover agent to find Pearce but that she &quot;went dark&quot;. Acheson believes that she fell in love with Pearce and couldn&#39;t decide whether she was with him or with the Yard.This time she chooses to be &quot;with&quot; him.
