Not as good as I was expecting, but passable.

Rating: 6/10 (3 December 2005)

I thought the idea of Mr & Mrs Smith was fantastic, the two most sexiest people on the planet, together, kicking butt in a spy action film. However, when I saw it, I was disappointed. I'll start off with the good things, then move onto the bad things and then wrap up with a conclusion.
Good things: - The chemistry between Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie is red hot, they really did do a great job. - The mix of humour and action is superb and reminded me of one of my favourite action films - True Lies.
Bad things: - The action, although entertaining, contains a lot of unnecessary violence towards innocent by-standers - to which I don't particularly like. - It ends with the usual climax, however this time the action dissolving into a B-Movie where the bad guys seem to hit everything but their targets.
Overall I got the impression that this film simply was trying too hard to be the next True Lies. It had good action, great comedy and two fantastic stars - but thats it. I ended up walking away from this film thinking "was that it?" when usually i like to discuss it with family or friends.
It's recommended to rent for a Saturday night in, not recommended for a DVD collection or serious viewing.
6/10.
