The International: Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Bank?
The International, starring Clive Owen as an Interpol operative tracking the shady dealings of a large bank, has as much going for it as it does working against it. It's not a bad movie, sprinkled as it is with scenes that are visually extraordinary, not to mention insanely entertaining.

Separated at Birth: Clive Owen Intrigue Movies
This weekend the Clive Owen movie The International will debut in theaters. Aside from some key differences, this movie looks a bit like another Clive Owen movie that will be out in March titled Duplicity. Both appear to deal with large international corporations and potentially involve espionage.
Movie Preview: The International
In the trailer for Clive Owen's new movie The International, there's lots of heart-pounding music and stressed out characters, and yet I failed to feel the excitement while viewing it. There's a lot going on and everyone's saying cryptic things about a bank, and I'm just not totally intrigued.
On the other hand: Yay, Clive Owen!

Rounding out the film's team is director Tom Tykwer (pronounced "Tick-ver"), who is responsible for Perfume, as well as the frenetic flick Run Lola Run.
