Scotland yard is after a mysterious man named Alexander Pearce who has stolen 744 million dollars , but has changed his face by plastic surgery, and so is unrecognizable . They try to get to him by tracking his lover Angelina Jolie .

Angelina Jolie throws them off-track by hitching up with a tourist who looks like Alexander ( Johnny Depp ) ,but in the process ends up falling in love with him.......

Unfortunately some other bad guys are also after Alexander , and they attack Depp thinking he is him .

The film has some beautiful photography of European cities taken obviously from helicopter , and some breathtaking scenes of the European countryside as a train passes through it.

The action is well-paced and the movie has class written all over it......right from the suite where Angelina stays in Italy to the clothes she wears.....

Verdict--nice....

I saw True Grit . If you like Western movies you may like it . There is no dramatization and there is no overtly hammed situations . At some places it gets slow , but the lead actress is fun to watch . Josh Brolin is wasted .
