Stars looked great, story had holes the size of the Appalachians

Rating: 4/10 (20 August 2005)

Funny having to rate this movie on a scale of 1 to 10, much like the opening scene. I'm sure Brad and Angelina's sex life is much better (on-screen and off) than this movie was, though. They're both beautiful, the plot had much potential and the beginning held much promise - what a pity the rest of the movie fell flat on its face. Sub-plots begun and left hanging, only one twist introduced with some difficulty, and too many contradictions and gaps left unresolved. Overall, pretty big disappointment.
On the bright side, great action scenes, innovative fight sequences and unbelievable chemistry between the two stars. In addition, good dialogues and witty exchanges delivered in style by Brangelina. At the end of the day, though, the movie was much like Mr. and Mrs. Smith's suburban existence: all style, no depth.
