Some people enjoy a big twist at the end of the movie. This film definitely offers one but after going along on the ride for over 100 minutes, I wasn’t entirely happy with the ending. The film stretches the imagination just a bit but for the most part is entertaining and very funny, frequently, thanks largely due to Johnny Depp, who is a cross between Captain Jack Sparrow, James Bond, and the kindest teacher you ever had. In fact, he plays a teacher from Wisconsin named Frank Tupelo. When a woman named Elise Clifton-Ward (Angelina Jolie) picks him up on a train by showing an interest in him, because he looks like her lover which the police are after, she soon realizes that her wish to protect the money launderer from the cops might be compromised because she begins to fall in love with Frank. Yet she endangers his life and then comes to his rescue on several occasions.

In one of his humorous scenes Frank is speaking with a police officer and the question is whether or not he will be charged with murder or attempted murder due to a misunderstanding. According to Frank, attempted murder is a downgrade from a murder charge, but an upgrade compared to room service!

There are a lot of players in this game, including a gangster who wants Elise’s lover, perhaps worse than she does. Again, the film features some daring escapes, action sequences and some romance to boot but the ending will not leave the viewer in the middle. Viewers will either love it or hate it. At any rate, due to strong language we are unable to award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to the film.
