Yea! A good thriller! I was immediately sucked into The International. I love when movies throw us right into the story and don't make us sit through a boring exposition. The International starts somewhere in the middle of Salinger (Clive Owen) and Whitman's (Naomi Watts) investigation into the corruption and arms dealing of the world's most powerful bank. I was on the edge of my seat more than once during this picture. It did a really good job of building tension and the shoot out at the Guggenheim was super fun. I also liked the fact that Owen and Watts were working very closely on this case, but there was no romantic tension. They were just work associates and we didn't have to sit through the whole "will they or won't they" garbage. It was refreshing. Unfortunately I think the movie ran out of gas a little bit towards the end and the finale seemed a little rushed, but I liked the rest of the film too much to truly let that bother me.On a different note I have to mention the hilarious Super Bowl shorts of The Office. Fantastic!
