Entertainment with a few spills.

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2005)

Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
When I sat ready to watch this, my first thought was to continue with an open mind. As it is, when watching an action adventure film, you must slide into that state of mind. Taking a film like this seriously would only result in a travesty. In my opinion if the makers, writers and producers intended to make a family feature which you could sit through with a smile they succeeded.
First of all i did enjoy the cast. Each character was believable as who they were meant to be. I know that sounds strange placing Pitt and Jolie as agents; but it worked for entertainment purposes. Their was chemistry between them, and it seemed they enjoyed being on screen together. And that always helps between two leading stars.
Some scenes may have pushed it a little far. For example when they are fighting, it spirals a little out of control but still maintains the fun element with going too far. The action scenes are nice and balanced, and in the end it becomes what it was meant to be; An action film, which offers excitement, thrills, and a rich plot to keep an audience entertained for a little under two hours.
All in all, a fun film that kept me occupied.
78/100
