Site Rating: 3 out of 10 stars

"The Tourist" starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, is a film about a spy spooling a tourist into her lies and he willingly going after her. Spoiler Alert: However, the tourist is not what he appears to be on the surface, in his quest to follow her. The film was somewhat entertaining and amusing in part, but bland and unadventurous.

Depp and Jolie did not have a significant amount of chemistry on film, despite rumors she was trying to sleep with him, much to his girlfriend’s anger. Their onscreen chemistry was passable, but not spectacular.

Jolie had more onscreen chemistry with Brad Pitt in the 2005 film "Mr. And Mrs. Smith" but that was because she was actually having sex with him, whilst he was still married to actress, Jennifer Aniston. Jolie was grinning in that movie something awful and shortly after, the world found out exactly why. She had unethically destroyed his marriage of five years and was pregnant with his child.
