Mr. & Mrs. Smith Movie Review 2005

Who knew that pretty people shooting at each other could be so much fun? Director Liman fuses "The War of the Roses" with "The Killer" in this stylish tale of hitman love-gone-wrong. Suburban couple John (Pitt) and Jane (Jolie) are getting bored with their marriage, but they're both hiding a big secret--they're the world's top assassins who unwittingly fell in love and got hitched. When they're assigned to kill each other, every ounce of their simmering martial tensions finds expression through shotguns and drop-kicks. The plot wanes and bad guys are ridiculously disposable, but the leads have such palpable on-screen chemistry that you'll find yourself wondering how to discreetly introduce a rocket launcher into your own bedroom.
