No Plot/ Unbelievably Action Filled

Rating: 4/10 (8 January 2006)

Generally in action movies they take time to develop a story, but that part of the film must have been cut out to allow for more action scenes. The movie starts with the Smiths in marriage counseling. Fifteen minutes later they loading their guns and there is blood everywhere. The plot seems to make a bit of an effort after the first shoot out, but it stops trying soon and doesn't get far. There are more people to kill.
Now for the action... When I say unbelievable action, it's not a compliment. I will say that Jane and John Smith are excellent shots. They manage to kill 50 or so "bad guys" with machine guns without a wound. Unbelievable. I watched this movie with my best friend (a guy) and he enjoyed the violence and seeing Angelina Jolie in a bloody, thin white tank. So boys will like that, but it bored me (a girl)quickly.
In the end the plot comes full circle, but it is still painfully weak. The ending is lame and a lot is left unexplained. So if you want to see Angelina Jolie in a bloody tank with her curls falling ever so perfectly in her face as she slides effortlessly across the floor, machine gun in hand, bullets strung over her shoulder, rent this movie. It is not something you will want to buy though. It's just not that good.
