Starring Johnny Depp & Angelina Jolie, directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck

When Frank (Depp) crosses paths with the mysterious and seductive Elise (Jolie), his holiday takes an unexpected and dangerous turn. So when armed assassins chase him from his hotel room in a hail of bullets, Frank begins to understand that he and Elise have been drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse. As the net begins to close around them, Frank soon realizes that to escape with his life, he will have to learn to fight back…. or die.

I am in two minds about this one. The film trundled along and I was left in disbelief at both the acting and believability of the story. That is, until the end when I have to admit to being taken back. However, all in all, I agree with the majority of the critics on this one; it’s all a question of too little, too late. Still, I didn’t switch it off (and it did have an actor from my own film in it, which was nice) so I guess I must have been intrigued, at least.

Verdict: Despite being a good story in the end, it’s not one I’m going to remember by tea time. **
