One of the biggest summer attractions without doubt!

Rating: 6/10 (21 June 2005)

The movie opens up with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, or Mr. and Mrs. Smith if you prefer sitting in front of a marriage councilor that asks them how long they've been married. Pitt answers quickly "five years" and is corrected by his wife "six".. with his genius reply of "five or six years" - not long after he asks where. "Colombia, five years ago" with her again "six years" - Pitt again replying; "five or six years ago", this tells everything about this marriage.
John Smith works inside the construction side and Jane Smith is a system analyst, at least they pretend to be. Because what they really are; is assassins, both of them, without the other knowing. So, soon their next assignment is to kill each other, and this will certainly lead to a messy divorce...
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are both very pleasing in this full-on action-flick of a summer movie were it's all about entertainment. Filled with explosive action and very entertaining laugh-out-loud moments, MR. & MRS. SMITH does about everything right in it's ambitious scale. Brad Pitt is very pleasing as a comedian though Jolie works far better as a serious actor, and it's truly the first film I've seen her acting this well (except GIRL, INTERRUPTED that is). And Vince Vaughn is also very nice in the character as Brad Pitt's boss, living with his mum and being on high alert with a shotgun Vaughn alone creates true comedy here. With really nothing to complain about, the overall most impressing part is the great action sequences that takes place at different, great areas. Either it's Pitt vs. Jolie in their own house, or on the road co-operating with a open trunk and firing and shooting and blowing things up, it's always fantastic watching! Brad Pitt growing better and bigger as an actor every year does a great performance here and as said about Jolie, also she acts good here. And the movie never trembles, it's focus is razor-sharp inside action and comedy, and offers every entertainment sweet you can ask for. Brad Pitt's natural charm spanned around his messy John Smith and Angelina Jolie's cat-eyes in her terrible-cook Jane, taking this to the extreme together with the action twisted in with Latino rhythms at the end, cool! MR. & MRS. SMITH is truly a fantastic entertainment movie, nothing to say about that.
Doug Liman still in the success of his Jason Bourne adaptations takes everything further here, and dodges in all of his director - strikes in between the flirting romance and lethal action scenes. Fine scenes as when Pitt and Jolie are dancing and checking each other for weapons is one of the many sexy scenes MR. & MRS. SMITH delivers with great confidence. Truly one of this summer's biggest and coolest movies! Very worth watching.
