The international

Anyone who is watching this with the gun fight in Guggenheim at 1 hr 13 mins, have a look as i can swear that Michael J Fox is an extra crouching down in black jumper and white collar shirt with a woman, anyone else see that ?

My wife said the same thing! But that's not him.

Never noticed that, but that scene was really well done.

Very disappointed with the movie though, particularly because I love espionage/spy thrillers. There are the entirely cerebral ones like The Insider which can either carry you along on plot or performance, and then there are the non-stop action efforts which are a pound to a penny (though less-so know with the 'cold war' more of a 'moderately-chilled disagreement'). But The International doesn't adequately suffice at any level for any sustained period of time. (Admittedly though my biggest problem is with Owen, he doesn't have the acting ability to carry off any major role and isn't Brad-esque enough to charm his way through either. And if it wasn't going to be Owen that delivered then Naomi had to get her tits out. She doesn't.)

Only other moment that impressed was the headquarters of the Italian arms manufacturer, that building is awesome!

After the lawyer thing i am surprised the had no bodyguards protecting them in the final scene, hence the crap ending after the build up with the Guggenheim firefight

well it wasnt as bad as Benjamin Button but sadly just another case of a movie being based on 2 relatively large names and nothing else.

No, not that bad.

Still shocks me that people think BB was a fantastic film. Simply being slow and long does not a good film make!

I'm in the minority, I liked Benjamin Button... It wasn't epic but it was a nice enough movie if you're watching it with the missus etc. Didn't make the slightest bit of sense but hey, it's a movie

Not seen The International... The fact that Clive Owen is in it puts me off, he's one of the worlds most wooden actors, almost in the same league as Keanu Reeves or Sean Bean.

Well damn I havent seen that avatar in a loooong time.

N$ it's worth watching for the Guggenheim scene, and i thought point break was a great film on my top 20 anyway
