Haven't seen THE INTERNATIONAL, but that shoot-out scene is tremendous! Is the rest of the flick worth seeing too?
My Twitter review was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzGUGGENHEIM!!!!!!!!zzzzzzzzzzzz.
Heh! So I guess I've seen the best part already, thanks.
Damn, OK. The Guggenheim hype was warranted. I wonder if the DVD has a "making of" for that scene. I'd love to see how they pulled it off. That cell phone ring tone moment was a clever comic touch.
Hurrah for Fassbender, an uncommonly talented bloke, and the wickedly funny JULIA scribes.
I'm part of a small but vocal minority that thinks THE INTERNATIONAL is pretty darn good even in the moments where bullets are not fucking shit up at the Guggenheim. I probably should have given Tykwer more directing points than I did because he really does a hell of a job with a pretty awful screenplay.
Yeah, THE INTERNATIONAL is a great example of exceptional directing rising above shitty screenwriting, and I think it's a pretty entertaining flick.
I did, however, forget to give points to the Guggenheim sequence. [Hangs head in shame]
