Storyline

In The International, Interpol Agent Louis Salinger and Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Eleanor Whitman are determined to bring to justice one of the world's most powerful banks. Uncovering illegal activities including money laundering, arms trading, and the destabilization of governments, Salinger and Whitman's investigation takes them from Berlin to Milan to New York and to Istanbul. Finding themselves in a high-stakes chase across the globe, their relentless tenacity puts their own lives at risk as the bank will stop at nothing - even murder - to continue financing terror and war.

Goofs

Continuity: When Salinger and Whitman are on the roof talking about how the second shooter made the shot, the camera "transforms" into the scope. During this "scene" you can see how the two shots are shot. The scenes before clearly show the two shots going through the pillar. In the "scope scene," the woman behind the pillar isn't hurt.
