Knowing starts off in 1959, when a time capsule full of envelopes with children's drawings depicting their predictions of the future is buried at an elementary school. However, one envelope contains a long series of numbers eerily and obsessively written out by girl in the class.

Whenever athletes turn to acting, I always get a little ache in my stomach. Everyone knows how painful it is to watch someone who was successful at one thing try to expand out into a void they just can't fill.

German Director Tom Tykwer of the cult classic Run Lola Run brings to the screen a somewhat sophomoric script by Eric Singer in The International. It's a rather mundane look at a mundane profession: banking. While the movie has at least one saving grace, the convoluted plot and erroneous logic drag what could have been a good intrigue movie down into an abyss of cliched archetypes and plot twists that are so foreshadowed that they are no longer twists but just matter-of-fact happenings in the story.
