A married couple are spies working for rival intelligence agencies. Unknowningly, they have been hired to kill each other or something like that. This is an action comedy which some critics thought was a metaphor for modern marriage. In reality this is just another high concept soulless Hollywood film.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith has the glamor couple of Pitt and Jolie who brought a lot of their personal baggage to the production but probably pushed it over the top money wise with all the publicity they got with their off screen romantic antics on this film.
The director Doug Liman was the guy who kicked off the Bourne series with The Bourne Identity. Liman knew his way around an action scene and they are all well done. The problem is there are way too many of them particularly an extended shoot em up in a department store that makes this long film seem even longer.
An OK time killer that seriously wears out it's welcome after about an hour, the one joke premise would have played better at about 90 minutes or probably less.
120 minutes
