Review: The Bank Goes Bad in The International
Thursday, February 12, 2009 8:00PM - By Krystal Clark
The International is a political thriller that focuses on the corrupted state of one of the oldest institutions in the world. I’m not referring to the presidency or the military, I’m talking about the bank. Yes, the bank. Money makes the world go round, and according to this film it’s been the main culprit behind every major conflict in history. Inspired by actual events, the film follows an Interpol agent and a New York Assistant D.A. as they try to bring down a bank called the IBBC. The IBBC is an international trust that happens to be involved with everything from money laundering and illegal weapons supply to murder.
