Obvious, copy-cat, spy gunk

Rating: 3/10 (10 October 2005)

The best part of this film is when Brad Pitt meets someone wearing a Fight Club t-shirt. Nearly a complete failure in every other sense.
Meet the Fockers is a better spy film than this, as are all the Spy Kids films.
The failure even includes Jolie's looks. She continues to look more and more like a blow-up doll soon to be Michael Jackson's wife. There is potential in the story if they ever decide to do a version that isn't forced into being a summer-action blockbuster. Here, however, they took the simplest or most excessive option in every scene.
Nothing seems authentic. Even a James Bond film has it's moments of reality. Or even Charlie's Angels. Smith, however, jumps between boring and silly. I suppose, like any bad film, with enough drugs, or at the right time, this can actually seem amusing instead of tedious.
