All rights reserved.| Movie Description Named after a 1941 Alfred Hitchcock film, MR. AND MRS. SMITH is really its own ball of flaming wax, with enough sizzling chemistry between stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to blow up a small building. He shows he is equally adept in comedy and action, and she manages to set new screen standards of bad-ass sexiness. It's impossible to dislike this pair, or a movie that makes being married seem like such insane fun. Pitt and Jolie play extremely skilled professional assassins who have managed to stay married for five years without ever realizing each other's profession because they work for rival agencies and the work is top secret. When their paths eventually cross on a high-level hit, one of the most lethal battles of the sexes in the history of cinema is officially on. Thanks to a genuinely witty script, the issue isn't who will win, but whether the couple will realize they are meant for each other before it's too late. Director Doug Liman was obviously the right choice for the material, having proved his ability to fuse engaging romance with knuckle-biting action in 2002's THE BOURNE IDENTITY. The comedy is sophisticated and witty, the action is visceral and intense, and there is plenty of satisfying eye candy. Another plus is Vince Vaughn as a fast-talking fellow hit man who lives with his mother. The cinematography is by Bozan Bajelli (the genius behind Abel Ferrara's best mid-1980s work) who imbues each environment, whether it's the Smith's house, or the urban streets--with its own evocative color scheme and feel.

Top Reviews Review created: 07/19/06 by: 3 of 6 people found this review helpful. Apparently when you mess with this couple all you get for your troubles is a black eye, some cracked ribs, a fractured collar bone, AND lUCKILY, AN OVER EXTENDED FUNNY BONE, this movie was fun to watch and very funny as well... it's just too bad the acting needed so much help, the scrip and the premise were nice and neat. It was a nice remake (well, more or less it just stole the name and premise) of an excellent hitchcock film. The poor acting was the only negative Review ID: 10000000001416624 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews I saw this version advertised on television. I liked the fact that it contains interviews, alternate endings, and scenes that were not released in the theater. Review ID: 10000000008434429 Was this review helpful?

Report this review I wish there were more deleted scenes and the directors commentary was terribly boring. He couldn't get off making comparisons with The Borne Identity. The alternate ending was a great addition. The acting, music and extended director's cut version were well worth the money. Review ID: 10000000006275859 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
