The International

Viewer Rating:jennith has rated The International rating: 3 Star

This film timing is certainly good with the old saying of life imitating art.We open this film with a meeting between an interpol agent and a witness,with his colleague Clive Owen watching his back,everything seems to be going well until Owen colleague dies of a heart attack.Owen is not convinced and belives his colleague was murdered the only problem is no-one will belive him he had a breakdown previously and everyone thinks this is another one.Things become complicated when the witness ends up dead and it seems the local police are involved in covering this up.Owen heads to New York after he gets a lucky break in the case and is about to arrest the groups hit man when they try and kill him,this scene of the gun fight in the museum is brilliant and will keep you on the edge of your seat.The hitman dies but they have arrested another link in the group who agrees to help and Owen decides to go rogue to solve this.The ending is good and Owen plays a secret agent who is driven to succeed very well definitley worth a look.
