I originally saw this film at the cinema, where I thoroughly enjoyed it, so when it came on television the other night I was only too keen to write a review on it. Story The story is really quite straight-forward. Marital problems have arisen for the charming young couple, John & Jane Smith (Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie), who, after the first 5 or 6 years of marriage - they are not so sure how long - they decide to take a 'marriage MOT' - well actually, they seek marriage counselling. Recalling their early days of their relationship, they realise things have changed a great deal. They seem quite distant from one another, are keeping secrets ...  Read the complete review

This action film from 2005 is directed by Doug Liman and stars real life couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The Plot John and Jane Smith have an average life. They both work their jobs and then come home, leading what seems to be a boring life. But they are harbouring secrets from each other, and lying about their jobs. For they are both guns for hire, and the sparks fly when they find out that their next respective targets are each other! The Cast and Performances Pitt and Jolie combine well in this film, although the sizzling chemistry you would expect between them is not really present. Whether this is because they ...  Read the complete review

This film is certainly not a classic. Even for a summer blockbuster standard which generally have very low standards Mr and Mrs Smith fail in every category except. Lack of quality script, quality production. The plot is about Mr and Mrs Smith living ordinary lives until their employers intervene and set them one last task each, elimination of each other. Instead of domestic arguments both partners take up weapons and get physical in the wrong sense. No more sex, occasional sex or even weekend sex for the couple they are out to kill each other. I would say this film has only done one good thing, bringing together Pitt and Jolie together in real ...  Read the complete review

I watched this movie shortly after it's release in 2005 as I've always been a fan of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and wasn't disappointed. I have seen mixed reviews since but I thought it was quite a good action movie and was entertaining enough. It is actually quite funny too and original in it's plot. The only problem I found was that it took a while to get into it and get going as the story is set up. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are the lead roles and play husband and wife who find out they are both assassins who have secretly been leading double lives for a while now. If you've ever seen True Lies it's a bit like that really in regards to the storyline. ...  Read the complete review

This was the film which got Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie together, the general idea seems to be, put the two hottest stars on the planet together and watch the chemistry...boom! Poor old Jennifer Aniston. The film is directed by Doug Liman who made the Bourne films, which is strange as this lacks any of the depth or seriousness of those films, this is like a modern True Lies with the two hottest people on the planet in the leads. Basically Pitt and Jolie are John and Jane Smith a boring married couple who unknown to each other are assasins working for rival organisations. When Jane is given her latest target she realises it is John and ...  Read the complete review
