THE INTERNATIONAL (2009) - Mar. 9, 2009
Stylishly directed by Tom Tykwer, this was a somewhat slow-paced thriller about a grizzled Interpol agent who is obsessed with taking down an evil bank. It's a bit convoluted, and it gets a tad too talky at times, but it's definitely entertaining throughout. It helps that the performances are all quite good and it's really well made. Then there's the shootout that comes a bit more than half-way through, which was easily one of the better shootouts I've seen in a while. It was awesome. I hope Tykwer one day decides to make a full-out action film, because he's clearly quite good at it. Good stuff. ***1/2
