This is a story of intrige, suspense and an action thriller. Interpol agent Louis Salinger (Clive Owen) and New York asst. district attorney Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts) team up to expose a global financial institutions money laundering, arms dealing and other illegal rackets. As the pair race from New York to Milan and beyond to pursue their case, they soon discover that the ruthless bank will stop at nothing to continue its profitable activities (probably like some banks these days). The fact that Louis s father was killed while working for the bank he is investigating makes for a personal point, and he goes undercover to work inside the bank and rapidly rises to a high position during his investigation-although the bank is secretly promoteing him so he can take a fall-similiar to what happened to his father. Good movie, will fill an evening with some fast paced entertainment. Best for people that enjoy business activity or appreciate the inner working of Wall Street and international banking (if you liked "WALL STREET" you will probably like this one also).Read full review
In the movie "The International", Interpol Agent Louis Salinger (Clive Owen) and Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts) fight to bring to justice a very powerful bank. It seems as though they are fighting against all agencies included their own to bring down the bank. The bank is financing terrorist organization and war to collect on the debt. Louis and Eleanor are in a deadly cat and mouse game with the bank. This movie was extremely boring in my opinion. I fell asleep literally 3 times and it took me almost 4 days to finish it. It seems as though I have seen this movie a hundred times, it is just terribly unoriginal. There was absolutely no character development and the story line was difficult to follow. The ending makes it even worse, it is very confusing will have most asking "So what happened". Of course this is just my personal opinion and I give it about a 6/10.Read full review
This is by far the best corrupt corporation espionage film of the past decade!The plot, the acting, & the directing all were truley deserving of five stars... Clive Owen's commanding lead as a determined Interpol investigator is magnificent! Naomi Watts also gives a stupendous performance as FBI agent... This movie was an absolutly fantastic rollercoaster ride thru out europe, to NYC, to Istanbul's Grand Bazaar. The Guggenheim Museum shoot out scene literally glued me to my seat!
A very adventurous Action Film with lots of twists and turns.

The International is a Suspense/Thriller full of action and intrigue. It pits an Interpol agent teamed with an Assistant DA from New York City against a huge multinational bank. It has long ben suspected that the bank is involved in murder and many other crimes. The film takes you back and fort between Europe and the US and finally to Turkey for the climax.
