The Smiths
Two lovers marry each other. After five or six years of marriage, their relationship starts falling apart due to lack of communication. They seek professional counseling.
One day, they both go to their jobs as assassins. They both have their own assassination agencies, but they both don't know that the other is one too. They've been lying to each other for years. But, this time, they've been assigned the same assignment. Now, they realize they're both assassins and not who they said they were.
The movie feels like True Lies mixed with War of the Roses. It's a good popcorn movie filled with lots of explosions. The movie is stylishly made, but you have to leave your reasoning behind.
At the end, they realize they have to work together to defeat the other bad guys from trying to kill them. They fall in love once again now that they're open and honest with each other. They work out their marital differences as they dispose of other assassins.
I liked when the kid was wearing the "Fight Club" t-shirt while the Smiths were beating him up to get answers as to who was trying to kill them.
It looks like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had fun making this film. Maybe they had a little too much fun. I still can't believe this is the movie that helped cause the split-up Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Too bad Pitt couldn't control his hormones while working with Angelina.
Sarah and I had fun play-fighting after we saw the movie. It provided good material for role-playing. Tee hee!
My rating: B, 85.
