Great! Certainly got that special twinkle in the eye

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2005)

Recap: An assassination in Bogotá and the police are out looking for tourists that travel alone. Boy meets girl, and they decide that they are safer together than on their own. Ah, fate sealed. Boy and girl fall in love, decide to marry and move in together. Both travel a lot in their work, he as a contractor she as a computer specialist. Looks like a happily ever after, but there is a slight problem. They haven't been totally honest with each other. He isn't a contractor, he is a hit-man. And she isn't a computer specialist, she's a hit-man too. But all is fine until they both have to go to work at the same time, and find they have competition. By their spouse! Their agencies give them both 48 hours to "clean up" the mess. The marital peace is over.
Comment: This is a movie precisely in my taste. Action, comedy and a high pace with some nice pauses, with great timing. A lot of shooting, a lot of explosions and some fighting, but never so much you think they go overboard. Add a real witty dialog (and no dubbing or subtitles can ever be as good as the original lines), some real situation based comedy and a great performance by the actors in the lead roles. Face it, it doesn't get much better than this. I especially loved the dance scene. Good lines, good acting. Humor and suspense mixed up and I really never knew in which direction it would go. I just felt that it would be spectacular. And it was. The ending was little other than I expected, but actually was pretty good.
Great as this was, I hope they don't do a sequel. A lot of the chemistry in the movie was the discovery, and then the resolve of Jane and John finding out the other was a professional hit-man. Now that they know, I don't think another go at the story would be as good. But this was great, a must see! 10/10
