"The International" wants to be a taught, intelligent thriller most of the time, but casts caution to the wind in favor of a totally baroque shoot-out in the Guggenheim in NYC that makes no sense at all. A nefarious international bank as villain is topical, and there are some stunning locations in Italy and Istanbul. Clive Owen and Naomi Watts turn in workman-like performances. You could do worse for a popcorn escape.Rated R. 118 minutes.
