Good film but too much random shoot out & blow up

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2009)

I enjoyed the movie. For me it's best seen as a romantic comedy about marriage which has a "spy world" setting, but you can't take the action itself too seriously. I am not sure but I think this must have been the producer and director's intention too because they never explore the action story fully, e.g. the respective spy agencies are left nameless, their respective allegiances unclear.
Regarding the actors, I thought both of them did superb acting as usual. In particular, Brad's poker scene is one of the funniest I have ever seen. The only problem in the movie (for me) is that it had a little too much shoot out and blow up. I would rather have seen more of Brad and Angelina, e.g. a couple of scenes showing awkward interactions with neighbours, etc.
