Chick flick with a twist

Rating: 9/10 (19 September 2008)

It starts off like a chick flick they are in therapy and you see the basic we love each other but we are miserable scenes. Then you find out that they both are assassins. Then it turns into a sexy dark comedy and action romp that never looses sight of the relationship. The unrated version sticks more to exploring the relationship. Two examples, the scenes exploring the sparks when they meet are longer and the scene when you see them together after you find out they are both assassins is different. In the unrated version you see them both dressed for the neighbors party waiting outside the door a typical bored married couple with nothing to say to each other. In the theater release instead of this you have a shot of Angelina almost being caught in her sexy domanatrix costume. The unrated scene works better because the audience knows they have so much in common and would be connected if they only knew about their common profession. This movie blends genres not unlike Beverly Hills Cop I and II or War of the Roses. It is well written on several levels dark humor, action and romantic comedy and it delivers well in each genre. You leave entertained and feeling like you witnessed the beginning of something spectacular. If that is not enough you get to stare at Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for two hours - for us it was a great date night my husband got to stare at Angelina and I got to stare at Brad. What a movie!
