Rating: 4/10 (29 June 2005)

Unless you are a big fan of Brad Pitt and/or Angelina Jolie and you never miss a film of theirs avoid this movie. I was not expecting some cinema masterpiece, just a relaxing summer entertainment movie, romantic, comedy, or action, I would have taken any of the three or any combination of the three. What I got is a film based almost exclusively on the two stars. They actually deliver, these are not the best roles of their lives or careers, they are still fairly acceptable. However the premises around are so weak, the lack of logic is so dominant, the lack of humor so overwhelming, and the action scenes so devoid of any originality that the overall product is almost a sleeper. Yes, here is a film with two sexy mega-stars, full of car races, action scenes, half a city plus a suburb home are being destroyed, and yet, I almost fell asleep. In one word - avoid!
