After five (or six) years of vanilla-wedded bliss, ordinary suburbanites John and Jane Smith are stuck in a huge rut. Unbeknownst to each other, they are both coolly lethal, highly-paid assassins working for rival organisations. When they discover they're each other's next target, their secret lives collide in a spicy, explosive mix of wicked comedy, pent-up passion, nonstop action and high-tech weaponry.

Best casting in movie history!! I just want a sequel and another one.. And great acting
They're a lovely couple, aren't they? I'm watching this a couple weeks after Angelina Jolie made major headlines by her decision to divorce Brad Pitt, take the kids and split. I don't follow these celebrity trials and tribulations, but could anyone doubt that would happen someday? It just seems par for the course.Well this plays out like it might have been a warm-up for the divorce settlement. I have to say, their little marital spat in the movie was handled rather creatively. Set up as bait between rival government agencies to take each other out via the extermination route, John (Pitt) and Jane (Jolie) Smith display remarkable creativity in choice of tactics and methods. One major gaffe by Johnny though when he missed catching the base charge on the primary cable at Jane's company. Heck, everyone knows that's where you're supposed to look first.Hey, it's over the top and mindless, but at the same time it's a fun flick if you go for this kind of stuff. I don't know if either star ever looked better on screen, and Vince Vaughn was priceless in his role as the calm and collected buddy of Johnny-boy. I think they could have played down Janey's number of kills though, three hundred and twelve sounded like a bit of a stretch. With a hint of assassination tango, this is the kind of film you can watch and just let your mind wander without too much strain, so go ahead and give it a shot. Figuratively speaking of course.
"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is actually a rather enjoyable film, and I can say that with all honesty despite not being overly much a fan of neither Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. It is a combination of the storyline, the action and the acting that makes "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" work out so nicely.The storyline is about married couple John (played by Brad Pitt) and Jane (played by Angelina Jolie) who has been married for 5-6 years. They lead fairly mundane lives together, but individually they are both top trained agents. Things become very complicated for the couple as their respective agencies set them up to kill one another."Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is very fast paced, and the story does get up into high gear right from the very beginning, and it actually never slows down. And on that account, then you are in for a very enjoyable thrill ride.The characters in the movie are actually quite nicely detailed and fleshed out on the screen. And they are characters that you instantly take a liking to and that you feel connected to somehow. But a lot of credit does, of course, go to the actors and actresses in the movie, as they really put their heart and spirit into the movie.What really impressed me in this movie was the action sequences and the amount of action throughout the course of the movie. There was such an abundance of action to satisfy essentially everyone.I was more than thoroughly entertained by "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". And I can say that it is actually a movie that you can watch more than just once.
Mildly entertaining.A (not entirely happily) married couple, John and Jane Smith (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) lead seemingly average suburban lives. However, unbeknownst to each other, each of them is a contract killer. Things come to a head when they both get a contract to kill the same guy...Starting interestingly enough. Quite funny and intriguing. From a point, however, it just degenerates into a common-or-garden action movie. Is mostly silly, one-dimensional and predictable after that.Performances are fine though. This is the movie where the Pitt- Jolie romance started and the chemistry between them is tangible.Good support from Vince Vaughn. I'm generally not a fan of his movies but here he does good work, providing some of the funnier moments. Maybe he should just avoid lead roles...
