<i>The Tourist</i>: A Mayor Koch Review

I'm not going to tell you about the plot -- it is ridiculous. For me to even discuss it would take away whatever pleasures might be there. But if I were you, I would do what most audiences have done: not go.

The television commercials and movie trailers for this film were superb, and I always see movies in which Johnny Depp appears. I truly admire him as an actor, although I disagree with his politics. Someday I'll resolve how much I have to disagree with an artist before I stop going to see his/her artistic endeavors, but that's for another day.

Take it from me. This movie is all hype and no substance. I saw it on opening night, and the theater was only two-thirds full. It always amazes me how sophisticated New York audiences are. They won't be conned into paying to see an advertised blockbuster that appears to have a ludicrous script. For my full review, click below.
