The Tourist follows the story of Frank and Elise. Elise (Angelina Jolie) is a mysterious woman followed doggedly by the police and Frank (Johnny Depp) is an erratic, fool-in-love tourist that Elis picks from a crowd. The story is mysterious, roundabout and certainly clever.
The movie opens with the police watching Elis during her morning routine at a cafe. And I really truly can't give you any more than that without giving away much of the story and you really truly must go into it without knowing more than what I've just given you.
My only complaint about this 103 minute movie is that there is only so much they can do with the plot line and so it will occasionally seem a bit lagging. Not enough that I was counting minutes, but certainly noticeable. Other than that, the movie is intriguing and beguiling and certainly worth seeing.
You could wait for the DVD and not lose anything to the story, however, but it's not a waste of money by any stretch if you do see it in theaters. Pick a rainy weekend afternoon or as an outing to break up the stress of this lovely holiday season and catch it in theaters.
To be perfectly honest, I feel like I cannot give you any more of a review than that without ruining the movie for you. Good luck and enjoy!
