Vera and Virility

Rating: 4/10 (14 June 2005)

Poor Brad and Angelina. They're so good-looking, it must be hard for them to get interesting roles in films. Then again, Brad did score Tyler Durden and the bloke in Snatch (Was he called Snatch?). So maybe Brad has no excuse for his involvement in this tosh.
Yes, there are a few amusing moments. Annoyingly, the good lines all come from Brad. He gets to have fun, while Angelina Jolie acts dour and tough. They should have given her character ,and in fact the whole script, a bit of substance and humanity.
Apart from these few moments, the film consists of a lot, an awful lot, of violence. He hits her. She shoots him. They knife a target. Someone bombs them both. It's all extremely entertaining if you you find that sort of stuff entertaining. I don't. Most of Arnie's action movies were cleverer than this.
