Very Entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2005)

Two top assassins (Pitt and Jolie) meet, fall in love, and stay married for 5-6 years without either one telling the other what he/she really does. Of course they each had cover jobs each knew about. Then one day each is assigned to take the other one out. Oh, oh, this can't be good.
Pitt and Jolie bring their A games to this exciting and very entertaining movie. We are not talking Oscars here, but a very good movie, even paced and with humor too. If you had the brass contract for this movie you would be quite wealthy by now. Yes, there is a lot of shooting, and explosions, special effects stunts(very spectacular), and car chases (Whoa!) and well, everything you want in a good spy movie. It's all here. Every bit as good as the Bourne Identity, but a little more on the lighter side, perhaps. You like these characters and hope they work things out. I was somewhat reminded of the War of the Roses, and although this movie really goes for the jugular, it's light-hearted enough not to be scary or gory.
One of the things I liked best about this movie is when the characters went after each other, there was no malice and in some ways it was quite comical and still very serious. I am dying to say more, but I will yell those comments into a pillow to get them out of my system.
Very entertaining and I didn't want it to end and I still have questions regarding the ending. You might too.
