The International

This film certainly puts the "asses" back in assassin. These armed-to-the-teeth boneheads kill willy nilly, fuck up the Guggenheim something terrible, and are inept at splitting from the scene of the crime in a timely, stealthy manner. Seriously, even the movie 'Shoot 'Em Up', which also, of course, starred Clive Owen, did not have this much shooting of 'em up.

Not to fret, though, torch carriers of the Good Fight - the President of AssAss-inland does receive his just Turkish delights, and by this I mean he takes one between the eyes on a rooftop in Istanbul. Side note: of all the international city aerial shots in this flick, Istanbul is the most beautiful. I'm totally going once I get my passport.

In conclusion - Italy wins! Yaayy, Azzurri! And will someone please give Mr. Owen's characters some Lithium already? Dude needs to lighten up.
