The International

The International
They control your money. They control your government. They control your life. And everybody pays.
This is my 'James Bond' pose.

At a time when the banks are in everyone's bad books, Hollywood rolls out a movie taking a look at a very bad bank. Loosely based on the now-defunct BCCI back in the latter half of the last century, this bank is involved in power plays on the grandest scale. Since they're into running countries, they get involved in arms dealing, murder, and other nasties. An Interpol agent teams up with a pretty assistant DA to investigate this bank. Previous investigators were either killed or disappeared, so the stakes are high, as is the action.


120 minutes, No persons under 13 (Language, Violence)
Crime, Thriller.
