Original idea, excellent movie

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2005)

I went into this movie not really knowing what to expect. Even so this movie surprised me with how good it is.
This movie has the typical big guns, shooting up buildings, explosive action but a very original plot underneath all that.
Coming into this movie I was really skeptical about how just finding out that their spouse is an assassin as well and being told to eliminate them could possible turn two married people against each other so quickly but I really liked how this was explained in the movie. How it all started with a simple misunderstanding that got the one to think that the other was really planning to kill them and it just took off from there.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were excellent. What surprised me though was how much I enjoyed Vince Vaughns performance (small as it was). I really enjoyed the comedic aspect he helped bring to the film the few scenes he was in.
What some will find especially enjoyable I'm sure is the highway scene in which the whole time Angelina is just wearing an over-sized t-shirt and Brad is just wearing a pair of boxers.
I would definitely recommend this movie. It is definitely worth the $5-6 spent on the ticket.
