Skip it. 'The International' is a globe-trotting thriller that sounds slick on paper but plays like a forgettable, overstuffed procedural that never quite lands its punches. Unless you're desperate for passport-stamping action with zero emotional stakes, there are better thrillers waiting for you tonight.

An interpol agent and an attorney are determined to bring one of the world's most powerful banks to justice. Uncovering money laundering, arms trading, and conspiracy to destabilize world governments, their investigation takes them from Berlin, Milan, New York and Istanbul. Finding themselves in a chase across the globe, their relentless tenacity puts their own lives at risk.
