Terrific Entertainment - A 21st Century Bulletproof Bogie and Bacall

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2006)

This movie is 100 percent magnetic entertainment. Pitt and Jolie are mesmerizing together. You wait for the Bonnie and Clyde ending but come up gasping for air when the two ruthless spies make it out alive, but just barely. A spellbinding screenplay. I cannot imagine any other acting duo pulling off this complicated and very physical movie plot with as much style and energy as Pitt and Jolie as Mr. and Mrs. "Bored by this marriage" Smith. A good Saturday night movie with just the right amount of date night "chick flick" attraction and lots of testosterone to share. I love it when Pitt (Mr. Smith) tells Jolie (Mrs. Smith), "Your new curtains are hideous," just as she's about to evaporate him with a computer bomb. It's no wonder she flips out at him when he complains relentlessly about her cooking. But Pitt is always on the James Stewart high road when his nemesis Jolie plays entirely hard to get - and gets even at every turn. This film is plain fun to watch. I'd even watch it again.
