Mildly entertaining.
A (not entirely happily) married couple, John and Jane Smith (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) lead seemingly average suburban lives. However, unbeknownst to each other, each of them is a contract killer. Things come to a head when they both get a contract to kill the same guy...
Starting interestingly enough. Quite funny and intriguing. From a point, however, it just degenerates into a common-or-garden action movie. Is mostly silly, one-dimensional and predictable after that.
Performances are fine though. This is the movie where the Pitt- Jolie romance started and the chemistry between them is tangible.
Good support from Vince Vaughn. I'm generally not a fan of his movies but here he does good work, providing some of the funnier moments. Maybe he should just avoid lead roles...
