Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2006)

This movie was smart, fun, and well acted. The plot developed nicely and Angelina and Brad played their respective characters with considerable aplomb. The fact that both leads went through combat and tactics training by a former member of SEAL Teams 3 and 6 definitely showed through. Though there was a moment or two where I had to suspend disbelief, the rest of the movie was filled with practical and possible (very important in my opinion) action and stunts. Additional backstory for the two leads would have been nice but ultimately was unnecessary and the movie ends at the high point without a long superfluous falling action and the Pitt - Jolie dynamic was both believable and filled with understated comedy. Taken as a whole this movie was Fantastic and contains the sexiest love scene in the history of movie making.
