No heart and soul in film

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2005)

Movie is balancing between "True lies" comedy/action type and reemphasized marriage drama. Brad and Angelina are with no doubt great performers but it seems that in way this combination of genres any actor would be confused. Or to come down to ground level: How you can expect from a character who is killing people for living (lots of people and with no regrets) to be involved in real family drama? Or how can you believe them that they are real (so you can connect with a character in drama)? It's a pity that chemistry which is glowing and obvious between this fine actors was not being covered with a story and directing better. So either director should stick to "try lies" type and forget about drama or vise versa. At the end when you going out of cinema a bitter bit stops in your throat that this could be better. Someone should write a nice script for this Brad/Angelina duo and directed Academy Award performance which they could obviously give. Some English drama or love story but with real characters in which we could believe and not this summer hit killing everyone around kind of thing. To conclude kids will probably love the action, fans of Brad/Angelina would probably wait for DVD with more nude scenes and some of us will hope that they will match up again in a real movie.
