Do you want to know a secret?

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2005)

A hilarious and sassy action comedy. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are the amiable, but volatile Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The couple after five or six years find themselves speaking to a therapist about their marriage that is growing stale. The Smith's lead a ho-hum life in the suburbs. The marriage seems to routinely function...but both partners are hiding a secret life from the other. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are two of the world's busiest assassins. The truth is accidentally revealed when they realize they've been hired to kill each other by their covert organizations.
Pitt and Jolie simmer, sizzle and ooze sexuality. Their caddy banter back and forth while they make a shambles of their home is a riot. Fists, feet, elbows and bullets and knives are all legal while the two try to kill each other. There comes a change of heart/mind when the couple find out they have been set up by the very people they work for...and are not going down without a good fight.
Most of the violence is non-bloody. My only complaint is that the sex is merely implied. But still; Jolie is too damn good looking for words. And who ever thought of Pitt as a smooth talking comedian? Also in the cast are: Vince Vaughn, Kerry Washington and Stephanie March. The action is blatant, tense and loud. I can't imagine anyone wanting their money back. Jolie and Pitt are always ready for their "close ups"...and some how you really don't mind.
