New to DVD: The Tourist


Please do not see this movie. If you have any respect for yourself as a human being, stay as far away from this film as you can.

Do not buy it.

Do not rent it from Blockbuster.

Do not redbox it.

Do not watch it streaming on Netflix.

Do not support people who plan to watch it.

Should you even suggest it to your friend as a joke? No.

This movie is awful. It is honestly one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. I wasted $8.50 and 103 excruciating minutes of my life to see this in theaters.

What makes it even worse is that this movie should be good. I'm a fan of both Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp and it seems like an interesting enough concept for a movie. Angelina plays a secret agent who is tricking Johnny Depp into being someone or something like that.. The plot never really matters and you will NEVER guess the twist at the end. You will seriously never guess it. Not because it's shocking, but because it is so ridiculous and makes very little sense.

Johnny Depp's character is supposed to be a boring teacher from the United States. First of all, why would you ever cast Johnny Depp for this role? He thrives on crazy, quick-witted roles! So he is supposed to be boring.. and he nails it. Super boring. Angelina Jolie is covered in far too much makeup for her own good, she walks like she is on a runway the entire film. It's painful. Please understand how painful this movie is.

I hope this review saves someone's soul.
