Perhaps a conversation I had with Annika about 15 minutes into this film sums it up.
Me: Did you want to watch this with me?
A: No, I heard it was really violent... or really boring... I don't remember which...
Turns out it was the boring option. Angelina Jolie is followed by the police since her former boyfriend is a wanted man. When she gets a message to meet him, she jumps through the hoops to try to lose the police. Part of the plan is to meet a random guy on a train and befriend him, making everyone think the random guy is the boyfriend. Johnny Depp plays the tourist and gets enmeshed in the hijinks. But still, not enough action, or not enough creativity, or not enough chemistry. This felt as if everyone phoned in a performance. If you have late night insomnia, this might help.
