A good popcorn flick

Rating: 6/10 (13 January 2006)

Mr. and Mrs. Smith is the story of a bored married couple who have nothing to talk about, but when they each find out that the other is a deadly assassin, they're on a race to kill each other.
First, I'll look at the story and the writing. The writing is pretty good, and at times it's snappy. The comedy in the movie is pretty funny, but this really isn't a full blown comedy like a lot of people were expecting. It's really more of an intense action film. I thought the funniest part was the satirical look at suburban living. Now, while I enjoyed the film, I couldn't help but notice a lot of plot holes, and the somewhat inconclusive ending. Also, it seems to drag on in some parts.
The acting in the movie is pretty good. Brad Pitt is as cool as ever in his role, and Angelina Jolie is just as awesome. Vince Vaughn seemed a little out of place even though his scenes are funny.
Anyways, don't expect a serious full blown Hollywood action film. This is more of a popcorn flick. 6.5/10.
