Movie Review: "The International"

"The International". Clive Owen, Naomi Watts.
Rating: Rental
The movie premise: a Big Bank is evil. It is funding Bad People so they can sell arms to nations - really Bad Nations, like Iran, and dictators of African countries. Other really Bad Nations, like China and the U.S., make the weapons to be sold!
One Good guy (Clive) and one Good woman (Naomi) are trying to stop the evil Bank. But every one they talk to dies. This is a "chase" movie, similar to "Bourne Identity" (well, the Good guy knows who he is, and who the really Bad guys are) - lots of shooting, some chase scenes, assassinations. Generally a "Blowem up, real good" movie.
The ending is kind of unsatisfying (for you Democrats - George Bush did not do it, it's not his fault.)
