Saw this with my Morphosys group last night: An INTERPOL agent (Clive Owen of the kissable chin) teams up with a New York District Attorney (Naomi Watts of the perfect hair) to bring down a corrupt bank in Tom Tykwer’s The International.

My group had mixed reactions about Clive Owen, thinking he made too many mistakes (we’re spoiled by Bond and Bourne), but the ladies agreed: It’s good he only got his ear shot off, leaving the rest of his pretty face for us. Sigh. 😉
