Lots of action, some laughs, but not great

Rating: 6/10 (14 October 2005)

OK, I wasn't all that sure about this movie before seeing it, expecting some kind of high voltage "War of the Roses." But this was different. Positive: The chemistry between Pitt & Jolie was good, lots of good one-liners, and over the top action scenes. Negative: Was never sure who the good/bad guys were. The "bad" guys (more hired, trained killers?) couldn't shoot the broad side of a barn with their automatic weapons, while Pitt & Jolie could overcome 20+ of these guys with their handguns and a few automatics stolen from dead guys. The ending was odd - I really expected a "Bonnie & Clyde" type ending, considering the odds against them toward the end. Conclusion: I would've liked this movie better if there had been clear defining lines of good & bad guys.
