- 90MovielineStephanie ZacharekMovielineStephanie ZacharekIf Elise and Frank are opaque to each other, they're opaque for a reason, as, sadly, lovers sometimes are. (Come to think of it, this picture has more in common with "The Lives of Others" than you might expect.)
- 67Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallTampa Bay TimesSteve PersallThe Tourist is less likely to be remembered for its cat-and-mouse machinations than for the beautiful people carrying them out.
- 50Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOrlando SentinelRoger MooreThe script piles the preposterous on top of the absurd and the film's thin charms dissipate, revealing the creaking movie star contraption underneath.
- 50Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe Tourist isn't a debacle, but it's a caper that's fatally low on carbonation.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere's a way to make a movie like The Tourist, but Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck doesn't find that way.
- 50Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsA facsimile of a masquerade of a gloss on "Charade," and on all the lesser cinematic charades that followed in the wake of director Stanley Donen's 1963 picture.
- 40VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangLike a beautifully tailored suit that starts to smell funny after a few minutes, this sumptuous but stultifying lark sets up a quasi-Hitchcockian intrigue between two strangers abroad, but smothers any thrills or sparks in a haze of self-regard.
- 40EmpireKim NewmanEmpireKim NewmanIf you just want to look with admiration and Johnny and/or Angelina – and why wouldn't you? – this offers the full scenic tour, but it's one of those frustrating almost-good films which never really catches fire.
- 25Miami HeraldRene RodriguezMiami HeraldRene RodriguezThe film suffers from a severe lack of urgency and emotional engagement. You can't get involved in a movie in which the characters all seem to be harboring double identities.
- 20The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyThe Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyStaggeringly misjudged in virtually every department, from the wannabe effervescent script to Johnny Depp's dopey hairdo.
