It was released worldwide February, 2009 and features Clive Owen, Naomi Watts and Jack McGee. The Internationals plot centers around international banking greed, corruption and murder and is based on the true story of the BCCI Bank of Credit and Commerce International. Early reviews by film critics were mixed because the storyline of banking corruption seemed unrealistic. But the film is now considered to be prophetic due to the recession of 2009 which economists have said was caused in part by corporate greed.
