Charlie Countryman (Shia LaBeouf) is an aimless young man. His mother (Melissa Leo) dies and her spirit tells him to go to Bucharest to live his life. On the plane there, an old man next to him dies. He meets the old man's beautiful daughter Gabi (Evan Rachel Wood). He falls for her despite her dark jealous violent husband Nigel (Mads Mikkelsen).
Shia looks like a drugged out homeless guy. I don't get it, but some find it sexy. I wish he would clean up a bit. Then there is Evan Rachel Wood's eastern European accent. It is extremely distracting. I rather have a Romanian actress who speaks broken English. Luckily there is Mads. I love his menacing demeanor. He is scary just by looking at you.
The movie depends a lot on Shia and Evan. I didn't like either of them in this. Between Shia's disheveled look and Evan's annoying accent, I couldn't get into this pairing. And the stuff with the ruffians isn't that interesting. The only funny joke is told by the ambulance driver in Romanian. It's a mess of unlikeable characters that I didn't care much about.
