Bad comedy, bad chemistry, bad action, bad film

Rating: 4/10 (6 June 2005)

This film harked back to the 80s style action movie - where the hero defeats hundreds of faceless henchmen and never seems to run out of ammo - but didn't even have the good grace to poke fun at itself for doing so.
"Action" films of recent times have realised that you need to have either pretty spectacular explosion/fight sequences or some decent humour packed in to keep viewers happy and this film had neither. It did have Brad and Angelina but their sexiness was not increased by their proximity to each other.
Some have likened it to True Lies and in my opinion True Lies was far superior in every possible filmic measure. True Lies had a much more interesting and engaging plot, it was funnier, it was sexier (the pole dance scene is hotter than anything in Mr and Mrs Smith) and when True Lies settled down to do some old school "action" it was impressive and imaginative.
Mr and Mrs Smith was not funny, not sexy and the action scenes were not worthwhile at all considering this was an "action" film.
