“The Sucker Trap”: This really bad movie with Johnny Depp is a hit on Netflix

If Johnny Depp is currently on Netflix with the documentary series Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard, which is also well-received by the press, subscribers will be en masse seduced by his movie “The Tourist” with Angelina Jolie, which was released in theaters in December 2010 and received very poor reviews. With an average AlloCiné rating of 1.6 out of 5 stars by the press and 2.2 by the public, we can see that the film has a lot to share. Now it is being rediscovered by a wider audience.

Depp plays a math teacher who decides to go sightseeing in Europe. On the train that takes him from Paris to Venice, he meets an intriguing woman named Elisa, who seduces him. But love at first sight will be short-lived and romance will turn into a chase!

The Tourist is an American remake of the French film by Anthony Zimmer, directed by Jerome Salle with Sophie Marceau, Ivan Atal and Sami Frey. We entrust the performance to Florian Henkel von Donnersmarck, whose first feature film, The Lives of Others, was very well received and took home the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

For his remake, he is working with two of the biggest stars of the 2000s, Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, which means that the result was highly anticipated. But disappointment was evidently considerable at the time of its release, with Le Monde describing the film as a delight on paper. “in hand” But the rest “unavailable”photographed “with the lightness of a panzer” According to TéléCinéObs and Positif, he is blamed for his absence “Neither charming, nor twisted, nor well played”. Le Figaroscope even qualifies as “Girl Trap”.

However, new audiences are massively rediscovering this feature film. If Johnny Depp is a little off and Angelina Jolie is not really involved, we can also see Paul Bettany, Timothy Dalton or Rufus Sewell, but also the “Frenchmen” Bruno Volkovich or Clement Sibon.

If you’re a Johnny Depp fan, you can also watch Donnie Brasco on Netflix; Or Angelina Jolie, which you liked better, her movies Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Bone Collector and First They Killed My Dad are also on the platform.
