Not a disappointment after all....

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2005)

When I saw the trailer for Mr ans Mrs Smith in the cinema, my first thought was "Oh dear", but soon enough a Brad Pitt-loving friend managed to drag me along to the film, and I was shocked to find myself actually enjoying it! Contrary to what I had thought, it wasn't based around the action scenes at all - which were, by the way, fantastic and all the better for the fabulous sound track!! - but around the problems facing a married couple who find they don't know each other any more. Mr and Mrs Smith has a script full of anecdotes and witty one-liners which stop it from dragging like so many action films do - also, look out for the Adam Brody's fight club t-shirt in the hostage scene! It was jokes like that which made this one of the few Brad Pitt films I wouldn't mind seeing again!!
