Please critique 'The Tourist' (SPOILERS)?

I thought it was terrible. My main beef is the musical arrangement was horrible. The music never matched to mood of the acting. Besides Jolie's character being an agent, which was not a huge surprise the way it was presented, there were no plot twists. It was very plain and predictable. I wish I had waled out and asked for a refund. My favorite part was when the snipers shot all the Russian guys and the police ran in the building.. then when they thought some other guy was Pierce, they left 2 criminal suspects and a bunch of bodies in the room.. then they found the Pierce (multi-billion dollar thief) suspect asked him 2 or 3 questions and let him go. The acting actually wasn't terrible, it seems like the script wasn't written with room for emotion. There was no action other than the fat Russian turning over a couple book cases.

FAIL of the year!

I can't remember another film that I have been so disengaged from the story that I started guessing (correctly) the plot and criticizing the film in the theater.

If I'm missing something please let me know.

    I think you missed the fact that the two leads usually have great films and this film is most possibly their biggest flop :(

    I was so psyched to see this and it was such a let down

    Especially - the LAME "twist"

    A waste of talent tbh :(
