Few new ideas

"Transnational Bank" really can't be said to be old-fashioned. The story of a small group of people challenging a huge institution and a lot of conspiracy has been staged on the big screen many times. Besides, Tekway really didn't come up with anything new. Scattered. The story is tight and loose, so it was a whole hour of mystery, like a huge burden. When I opened it, there were only two peanuts. The second half of Owen's "Evil to Evil" paragraph is too simple to play.
The shootout in the Guggenheim is a bit interesting, and the museum's mess is probably the biggest novelty of the movie. Tykwer is a director who is good at describing ritualistic scenes, and spends a lot of time on the details, but it makes the film as a whole dull. The Istanbul passage is disappointing, like Jason Bourne with a ton of water.
I've always had a good impression of Clive Owen, whether it's the sensational drama of "Son of Man" or the "Shoot'em Up", this buddy is very calm, and he looks like a bitter hatred in "Transnational Bank" It's not bad, but the movie is a bit boring.

    The plot is very unreliable, can't stand scrutiny, and the characters are quite flat and masked, but the photography is beautiful, a modern architecture expo that travels around the world: from Berlin to Luxembourg to Milan to New York, and finally ends in Istanbul. The interlocking links in the middle are still full of tension. Just an entertainment movie, you can watch it.

    As long as the director goes to Hollywood, what he shoots is almost the same. The scene on the roof at the end of this film is almost 007, and the gun that resists the male protagonist is from Infernal Affairs.

The International quotes

    Wilhelm Wexler: Well, this is the difference between truth and fiction. Fiction has to make sense.

  • Wilhelm Wexler: Character is easier kept than recovered.
