Another typical movie.

Rating: 1/10 (23 June 2005)

I'm not sure if producers and directors (with some notable exceptions) in US think on a good movie as a big budget, a lot of special effects, super stars in leading roles and stupid, forced and unbelievable situations. If the answer is yes, well this could be a good movie, but reality is beyond this ideas. Black humor in this film is absolutely pathetic. Directors must have seen Tarantino or Cohen brother's films first to understand what US black humor is all about. Who can believe that Angelina Jolie is falling down from the top of a skyscraper with nothing but a rope? Or Brad Pit receiving gun shots, stabs, hits of all kind and he remains with enough energy to make jokes and discuss his marital problems? Or the final shooting scene where the two of them kill and defeat dozens of well trained and better armed mercenaries? Those are only a few samples of stupid scenes during the movie. Besides that, what about the acting performances? Totally ridiculous and exaggerated. The typical tough guy and the sex symbol, nothing more. You don't need deep dialogues or strong performances, because there are a lot of weapons, explosions and dead people. Even the extreme violence is not justified.
Nothing new but a big budget film. If you want to see the typical predictable and stupid action movie, well this is your option. If you are fan of Pit and Angelina, believe me on this, there are better movies to see them, well, probably not; I'm not sure at this time. Anyhow, if you have better things to do, avoid it.
