The International by the DVD Man

When I woke up this morning, I looked out beyond the back yard and I saw 17 turkeys. I should have known that was a clue, but NO!! I went and saw The International anyway.

It was the 18th turkey I saw today. It's supposed to be a thriller, but it was so confusing in the beginning that I dozed off several times, which of course made it even more confusing.

There were no "Franks" in the movie, but there was a rare Tom character who of course, projectile vomits and dies in the first 10 minutes.

I like Clive Owen & Naomi Watts, but Naomi was a zero in the movie and wasn't believable and Clive was just angry about something they kept alluding to, but never explained.

By the end, I just didn't care much and then some Italian hit man showed up and blew away the bad guy, which didn't matter because then they showed a bunch of newspaper clips under the credits that showed the bad guys keep winning anyway.

I recommend: Don't bother and if you watch it on DVD, have some coffee first and replay the first 30 minutes over a few times, maybe with the commentary, so you know what is actually happening.
