Pretty people doing awesome things, in cool clothes...I sooo wanted to hate this movie

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2006)

John and Jane are trapped in a boring, loveless marriage. They only share one thing in common and neither one knows it. They are both contract killers. They are hired to hit the same mark, both fail, and now they have to kill each other. No problem, really. They've slowly grown on each others nerves...and now they can really take out that unspoken aggression from differing opinions on the living room drapes.
Brad and Angelina have amazing chemistry (duh!). Vince Vaughn works his natural gift to play arrogant motor mouths. Ah, Vinny...you do it so darn well. If he weren't an actor, then he'd be the wealthiest used car salesman in the universe.
Ultimately, sparks fly when the two try to do each other in. Their passion for their profession transfers into their passion (or lack thereof) for each other. In the film's beginning, the couple's marriage counselor asks, "When was the last time you had sex?" Jane replies, "I don't understand the question." She definitely understands it now. WAIT A SECOND! John and Jane try to stick out there marriage. They seek counseling. Is this movie a parable about marriage? Till death do us part? Marriage built on honesty? The truth shall set you free?! Am I reading too much into this? Explosions, car chases, billions of bullets blasting, and...the tango. Hey, it worked for True Lies.
