'The Tourist' begins when a man wakes up after a car crash in the Australian outback unable to remember who he is, and a viewer might think they're about to watch a familiar kind of drama series. Instead, what follows is uncommonly inventive, in terms of both plot and presentation, frequently blackly comic but just as frequently, plain black. The protagonists vary between those who are purely evil, those who seem decent but with unforgiveable histories, and a few nice guys who mostly don't last very long. By design, it's tonally uneven, though persistantly creative and clever.
