The International




We went to the movies last night to see, "The International" starring Clive Barker. It is a timely little spy thriller about corporate banks controlling the world. It is a good flick for a popcorn movie. It is also a rare opportunity to watch a shoot out in one of Frank Lloyd Wright's prize buildings. (ah, special effects ) It is a cautionary tail about the manipulation of society, but it is not as scary as real life. ** stars




I must say though that when they started advertising, "The International", my mind would drift to the Christopher Walken skits on Saturday Night Live and I couldn't keep from smiling.


During the movie, I thought that Walken's "International" character would have been a great substitute to Barker's.
