For the haters
Oh for crying out loud! It was an entertaining movie. Beautiful people. Beautiful places. Fun story. IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THE CURE FOR CANCER. Get over yourselves.

Agree. Great fun, entertaining, plot twist in the end.
No matter where you go "there you are".
I'm trying to like it but I wasn't impressed when they followed her at the start in a van about 30 feet behind her.
Nor when they grabbed the courier right in front of her.
I'm not one to fuss about details but this struck me as just lazy film making.
But I'm still watching now and am warming to it.
*Edit: very disappointed in the film. Considering the budget and the cast, you'd have thought they'd have spent a bit more than 50p on the script.
Its watchable in a half bothered way as it does not need your full concentration. Expected better given the star power involved.
Its that man again!!
She knew she was followed and they knew that she knew, because she's an Interpol agent
shareI can live with the van following close by; slow driving in central Paris streets isn't unusual, and if you're not expecting to be followed, you wouldn't notice anyway - and if she IS expecting the police to monitor her, it's all just a show for the gallery anyway... :D
The grabbing if the courier is a bit ackward, though - everybody within a hundred meters would have noticed this! Why does the courier try to make a run for it, by the way? Same with the policeman running over to the burning note, yelling "No, stop! Police!" with Jolie only about 20 meters away... She would have a hard time convincingly ignoring these two incidents!
Agree 100%,not to be taken seriously but hugely entertaining.
sharegreat fun!
shareyeah, i avoided it as a result of its 5.9 imdb rating and poor reviews but my girlfriend said she saw it twice and loved it, it was on cable recently, so i thought i'd give it a go. i'm glad i did. i've seen all of the films on AFI's top 100 list, most of the IMDB top 250, watch a lot of 'artsy', foreign, and indepdent films, classic films, documentaries . . . basically, i'm open to anything and i actually found this movie to be relatively entertaining. no, it wasn't oscarworthy but it wasn't bad by any stretch, in my opinion.
i think this film was more consistent with movies that gain a 6.7 or so here on imdb.
Delongtina - I entirely agree. It maybe tends toward being chewing gum for the eyes ... but it's pretty tasty and entertaining chewing gum!
There's real life ... and then there's movies!
