The sense of picture is good, the architecture and urban landscape are good, and the atmosphere is simple and clean.

Originally the male protagonist was quite attractive, but after watching this film, he suddenly lost interest in his face and got tired of it. The expression is too monotonous.


Too big to fail. That's a good reason.

The unseen workings of financial institutions are exposed too lightly, too thinly.

The latter turning point can actually have a lot of room for development, but it ends like that, which makes people feel very unsatisfactory.

    The soundtrack is good, the European cityscapes are refined enough, and the gunfights are bloody enough. The warriors shot indiscriminately in the Guggenheim, my heart hurts, every bullet is stuck in my heart, in my heart! The ending is a bit weak, the villain said a lot of nonsense "you can't kill me, I can't change the situation", and as a result, an Italian killer came, shot twice, and disappeared. The lesson of blood - don't mess with anyone, don't mess with the Italians!

    The first half is also very good, blockbuster style! By the end it's fucking mentally retarded, insane style!

The International quotes

  • [first lines]

    Thomas Schumer: Listen, I'm from the Bronx, so you need to keep it simple. Why is the bank buying all this missile-guidance stuff from Calvini? - I don't get it.

  • [last lines]

    Jonas Skarssen: [to Salinger, who is on the verge of shooting him] Wait, wait, wait. Executing me won't change anything. There will be another 100 bankers to take my place. Everything will continue. The only thing you'll succeed in doing is to satisfy your bloodlust. And you know it.

    Calvini's hitman: [after shooting down Skarssen, taking Salinger's gun, and finishing Skarssen off with it] Grazie.

    [first closing credits are shown over news articles that demonstrate the truth of Skarssen 's words: business of banking and arms deals continuing as usual]
