I was sort of apathetic going into The International. If Clive Owen hadn’t been starring in it, I doubt it would’ve been a movie I went to in theaters. While I thought it might end up surprising me, it really didn’t. Clive Owen struggled through a plot that was much too drawn out and purposely deceptive. Supporting him was Naomi Watts, who I felt nothing from. For someone that was supposed to be a Manhattan DA, Watts delivered a performance that felt a little too “princess in a tower” for me. The action scenes are worth seeing on the big screen but there’s a lot of mediocre plot to sit through that had me more interested in the theater we were seeing it in rather than the movie itself.
