Great Film: Mr. & Mrs. Smith
The Smiths Have A Little Something For Everyone.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a story of a husband and wife who are working as
assassins, unbeknownst to each other, and not surprisingly, are in
therapy to save their marriage. Ironically, they both believe their
lives together are too boring.
John Smith (Brad Pitt) meets Jane (Angelina Jolie) while both are in
danger of being exposed in a foreign country, while working. They are
both experienced assassins at the time and go with the flow, and
eventually falling for each other. Neither tells the other what they
actually do for a living.
Needless to say, they find each other out and both agencies who they
work for, give the order to kill the other within 48 hours. Thus, the
hijinx ensue. Both are vying for control and to discover how much the
other actually knows. Upon finding that they both know everything, a
full on mini-war begins.
This movie has a little bit of everything. The Smiths are not without
their humorous sides, especially Brad Pitt. Also, there are a few good
fight scenes, between The Smiths along with some others. There are a
few nice weapons to be admired here, as well as some very nice eye
candy (I am talking about Miss Jolie, but I hear the ladies are fond of
Brad, also). Also, I would like to give an honorable mention to Vince
Vaughn as Eddie. I feel his performance was funny, but too small for
this movie.
This movie is a fun little romp through the house with some nice action
scenes. Recommended if you would like a somewhat toned down True Lies.
