Jolie! Depp! Romantic locations! Intrigue! Some movies sound too good to be true. The Tourist is one of them.

What should have sizzled fizzles.

rotten:
As for Depp, his character makes so little sense that he can hardly be blamed for blinking his way through the movie with an expression of blank-faced puzzlement that recalls Dan Quayle in the 1988 vice-presidential debate.

In a year of craptaculars, The Tourist deserves burial at the bottom of the 2010 dung heap.

"Sure, the plot is preposterous, but the two stars look great, the scenery is spectacular and the supporting cast is a hoot."
