It's about marriage....well, with a little twist (might contain Spoiler)

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2005)

Couples met by accident, attracted to each other, pretend to be someone else to hide their true personality and after a while decided to marry. It's almost a perfect marriage since both try best in playing their role but nothing in the world are perfect. The truth finally revealed, their secret arise...five or six year later.
The truth really hurt them bad, make them feel deceived by their partner and want to hurt each other back. Soon, they have their first and biggest fight ever. One wants to start all over while the other wants to start a new life but then they realized what bonds them together and slowly they start to be honest to each other, work together and do their best to get rid all problems to save their marriage.
As you see, it's a plot that can happen to any marriage couple, whether you are ordinary couples or assassins - only they didn't handle it the way ordinary couple does. Also, the kind of problem they're dealing with.
Since it's a movie about a marriage, the focus is mainly on this couple relationship while villains become not so important. I think Mr Pitt and Ms Jolie play it very well, you can see & feel a chemistry between them. The action scenes are directed nicely, somehow reminds me of John Woo's movie. The dialogs are smart too.
My only complain is - the plot is too simple and easy to predict. A couples with 5 or 6 years of marriage, no other woman/man, no children problem, no enemy in the past haunting them, even nothing about their background, did not leave rooms for surprises and some naughty twist. Well, maybe in the sequel....hopefully not 5 or 6 yrs later....(Pls excuse my bad English).
