I had low expectations but wanted to see the locations. This is soft-core porn for married ladies as was the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair except that the latter was stylish and somewhat intelligent. Campari product placement, a laughable imitation of one of the ball scenes from The Leopard, a gorgeous terrace restaurant at the Bauer Hotel on a starry night, Angelina Jolie high on her own ego trying to convince us that she has class and Johnny Depp- I suppose purposely- unconvincing as a Midwestern math teacher. The villains are cartoonish and I thought the two leads had zero chemistry. This is an alternate reality in which Italians speak English and there are even a couple of (formerly?) respected Italian actors slumming as hotel staff and police officers. Johnny Depp seems to have been forced to do this movie to pay off a gambling debt or something or is he just too quirky to play suave?
