Brad and Angelina are beautiful but the film - oh dear!

Rating: 5/10 (29 November 2005)

This film is an idea which started out with such promise. A film featuring two of the most popular and pretty people in Hollywood at the moment playing a pair of married assassins who don't realise what either of them does for a living, then watch the fun when they are ordered to kill each other.
Does all this sound so familiar? I believe Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner did something similar in a film years ago and that wasn't terribly good either. So why repeat a bad formula? Simply money.
I really wanted to enjoy this film, despite it's premise of being basically a no-brainer Friday night after work type of movie (the one where I don't have to think about the plot). I wanted to laugh as both of them came up with more ludicrous ways of rubbing each other out and I didn't! Sorry Brad and Angelina, you are a lovely couple and I'm sure you'll get married, settle down and have loads of children but, please, don't act together in another film.
