For a long time into The International the viewer might wonder why he opted for such a sterile, yawn-a-minute flick; but if he stays on the reward is excellent. Two words: Guggenheim shoot-out.

An excerpt from film.com interviewing Clive Owen: “I think the Guggenheim sequence is one of the most exquisitely executed sequences I’ve been involved in. Months before shooting, [director] Tom [Twyker] and I walked around. He had the whole think mapped out, and showed me how he was going to shoot it. I remember when we did the first rehearsal with the stuntmen, you could tell how great it was going to be. And Tom executed it brilliantly.”

And brilliantly is right. Go rent this one, save yourself a nap in the theatre.
