Nicely done

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2005)

Loved the movie. The chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Joile is great--even when they're trying to kill each other. Doug Liman knows how to direct action films without the action sequences being too over the top. I would rank this up-there with Bourne Identity in that respect. Vince Vaughn is a scene stealing genius in this--probably his best work.
Hmm, that's not ten lines. Okay, the soundtrack was good. Whoever dressed Brad Pitt did an excellent job. Adam Brody was surprisingly good. Did I mention the chemistry? It is was palpable. Anyway, it's a commentary on marriage that even a single person can enjoy. Whether it got the top box office spot because of all the to-do in the papers over their off-screen lives doesn't really matter. To-do aside, it's a good summer romp (pun slightly intended) .
