Great, fun and highly enjoyable!

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2005)

I saw this movie today and right from the opening scene knew it was my type of film. The critics and the trailers seemed to indicate that it wasn't that good a movie, but fortunately I went with the fact that I like both main actors and the premise. It has both action and a love story (not soppy), as well as humour. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie really bring across the idea of the married coupled (like any other) going through a rough patch - but with their own unique quirks.I especially liked Jolie's acting. Some critic said that they don't gel, but I found they work excellently together. The action is smart and well shown and rather spectacular at times. I like the way they managed to put humour, love and action all into one scene - without making it confusing or sacrificing one for the other. The story is told compellingly and holds up fairly well to inspection, with good plot twists. This is not some drama or a thriller, neither is it camp comedy, so don't watch it expecting to see those. What you can expect is good acting, good action, fine bods with good humour and a touching love story.
