the funniest thing since pirates of the Caribbean

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2005)

OK here is the simple lowdown, i don't want to take away from any of the fun, Pitt and Jolie are assassins, the best in the world, they both have no clue the other is one. and carrying on with there boring lives, until a chance encounter on a same target, they figure out the other is also a assassin. That is all i will say about the plot, not that there is amazing twists or anything, but that is all that needs to be known.
This is a fun film. period. the review on this web site quotes that Pitt wasn't that great and it's all about Angelina, but once again, i have to disagree with that critic. Brad Pitt is the heart and soul of this film. He makes this film great. His sly acting and great one liners, make this a incredibly enjoyable film. I must have found myself chuckling to Pitt a dozen times. both actors acting was above average. Pitt played his character to the top of his game. Almost if Mr smith was a pair of shoes, Pitt slipped in and fit perfectly. he knew how to use his character. Jolie was there to make Pitt seem more entertaining. although her acting was right on, this film is fun and the fun originates from Pitt. coming in with a really entertaining performance was Vince Vaughn. He was quite funny, playing Pitt's best buddy and friendly assassin. the performances from here on out are nil important.
The directing was Doug linman, and he knows what he is doing for action. just watch the Jason Bourne films. great. the action is fantastic. But the dialogue exchange between the characters during the action sequences made this film even better. The cinematography and screen writing all worked out nicely. The film leaves some unanswered questions, or some holes. but at the end you don't walk out thinking " oh man i wonder what happened" you come out saying some of the great lines.
maybe i tend to like brad a little to much, but this is really his role and his film. He is perfect for this and he does it perfect. This film can be enjoyed by almost anyone that likes to have fun. finally the man can take a woman out to a film that they will both enjoy. A rare sight in todays economy. this one's got it all, laughing, edge of your seat action, one liners, great acting, directing, romance. if you need something to do this weekend, then you can find all you'll ever need in this film. try and walk into this one let loose and try and just enjoy yourself for once. something theaters rarely get.
