Mr and Mrs Smith A Decent Action Film

Rating: 6/10 (8 June 2009)

Mr and Mrs Smith is a decent action film from director Doug Liman the man behind films like The Bourne Identity, Jumper, and Go. The film is worth seeing because of the impressive performances by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as the title characters. The supporting cast are good in their roles including Adam Brody, Kerry Washington, Keith David, and Michelle Monaghan but they aren't given much to do and lack screen time. Vince Vaughn shows up for a small supporting role as Pitt's friend and fellow agent who does his usual thing playing a guy still living with his mother the only woman he trusts bringing some much needed comic relief to the movie. The action sequences are well executed with some going over the top but for the most part it's still an entertaining movie. The pacing may be a bit slow at times but overall Mr and Mrs Smith is a good enough action movie with solid performances by the lead actors that make it somewhat enjoyable.
