Liked him, hated her!

Rating: 4/10 (26 January 2007)

This film had some terrific fight scenes which I felt were the highlights of what was offered. So, okay, let's get it out in the open. We all know the scandal and press overdone gossip about the two leads. Sort of reminded me of the Eddie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, Elizabeth Taylor breakup. However, Jolie is no Taylor, believe me. Her looks elude me. Don't quite see it. For certainly Pitt is the looker in this. And I don't like her treatment of her Dad, Jon Voight, who IS a good actor and DOES have a body of work to be proud of. What has Angelina Jolie done on film that is that groundbreaking? I don't find her that pretty. Her lips are compared to a blow fish. Although she does have that evil look to her that makes you want to hiss at her. Brad is a strapping young man and a not bad actor. Some of his work deserves good credits. Namely, THELMA AND LOUISE, VAMPRIES, JOE BLACK and LEGENDS OF THE FALL. In this he plays the part well. You know, I don't see the electricity between he and Jolie at all. In fact their love scenes, and thank heavens there weren't that many, were flat. The women that Jolie had surrounding her, were like a troupe of lesbian agents. I just laughed at that. Anyway, I didn't like this film too much. Brad is good to look at and Angelina should stay in Africa.
