A thriller low on real thrills, Simon reviews the Blu-ray of Clive Owen in The International…
But when a higher budget production in some way rests on his shoulders?
Thats when the problems seem to kick in.
And its a topical one too, given most peoples views of the banking industry right now.
Banks are evil, and here are our heroes to save us from them.
That should be a fairly straightforward sell.
But the problem withThe Internationalis, for too much of its running time, it simply fails to spark.
Its fair to say its a project that doesnt really live up to its potential.
Credit where credits due, though, the picture quality of the Blu-ray release is terrific.
Thats pretty much how things should be.
You get a fairly good extras package for your cash, too.
An extended scene and trailers round out a satisfying package.
