A movie about a mafia, Alexander Pearce, who's running with a lot of money after he cheated with gangsters and became a fugitive. At the same time, he is in love with an agent, Elise ( Angelina Jolie). Elise has been known as his lover by the detective. The other agents have stalked her because Elise would lead them to Alexander Pearce. It becomes true when Elise received a letter from him and being told to meet him at Gare De Lyon and find someone who looks like him to distract the agents. The agents immediately follow Elise to the station. After that, some agents succeed in following her on the train. 

Finally, she found someone who looks like him and pretends that he is Alexander Pearce. The person is Frank Tupelo, a tourist from America and also a math teacher. Elise and he all get along and having dinner together; after they almost arrive at their destination, they separate. But Frank and Elise have met again, and Elise has booked a room for them both. Frank, who does not understand this, in his confusion, still follows her to the room. After they settle, Elise offers him to accompany her to the ball in 3 days. But unfortunately, before that, Frank, who people thought is Alexander Pearce, has been chased into the hotel by the Russian gangster that Alexander Pearce has cheated with. He immediately gets out of the room through the window and sacrifices his life running on the roof to avoid that gangster. 

After all the run and chase, Frank has been saved by the Italian police. But the fortune has not on his side; the police itself conspire with the Russian gangster to get some money. Frank has been cuffed to the boat that took him to the gangster, but suddenly another ship comes in slowly in the dark and then pulls the boat that Frank has in. Little did we know, it was Elise, trying to save him from the gangster. They kept chasing Elise and Frank, but Elise is clever enough to avoid them. In the middle of the river, after they have been hunting, Frank confesses his feeling that he likes her. But we know that Elise is already in a relationship with Alexander Pearce. She can't say anything to him and leave him and bring them back to the hotel. When the sun is up, Elise and Frank pack their stuff, and the boat goes to the airport. But, after they arrive, Frank, who's thought that they will leave together, turned out that he is the only one who is going. 

The location of the set was gorgeous. Italy has its way of fascinating us. Also, in this movie, Elise's outfit was ten out of ten; you will see from the beginning of the scene where she received the letter from Alexander Pearce. I, personally, really love her outfit when she's on the train on the way to Italy. Frank Tupelo also did not lose from her. When he attended the ball, it was also charming, it pulled his charisma out of it, and of course, with Johnny Depp's charisma, it made all perfect. 

The story of this movie is also good, and I enjoyed every scene that appears. The plot was not heavy, but still, it made us thinking where the hell Alexander Pearce is. If I'm not mistaken, there is also a bit of humor in this movie, so it's not making us tense to watch, but some of the scenes made us uneasy as well. Besides all of that, no need to hesitate about the chemistry between Elise and Frank. They did perfectly and making me feel like I want a guy like Frank Tupelo. That's all I wanted to explain. This movie is a must to watch, and please pay attention to every detail *wink*!
