Mr. and Mrs. Smith
cast: Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie
The good: doesn't let up
The bad: that is until the late middle parts
Brad and Angelina rumors aside, their movie should get just the same amount of attention with its highly-engaging humor, high dose of coolness, and overall feeling of polish.
Brad plays John Smith, a construction engineer to his wife, but a highly-skilled and lethal assassin in reality. Angelina plays Jane Smith, a computer businesswoman to her husband, but in reality, she's just as skilled and lethal a assassin as the partner.
I was pleasantly surprised by how well-made this film turned out to be. I was half-expecting a disaster seeing that the film just seemed to be an excuse to capitalize on the Brad-Angelina ticket. The film quickly holds on to you and doesn't really let go until the very end. It just loosens its grip on you towards the late middle parts when the film uses up all its tricks and becomes just a mindless action-fest. Its a good thing that the gun fights are explosive even though they don't really make sense.
Good fun for the whole 'barkada'. (4/5)
