"Smart and sexy"

John and Jane Smith (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) are an ordinary couple in an ordinary marriage, where the spice is a bit off.

When both are given a new assignment and discover that they are each other's targets, the dolls are dancing.

Should have been nicer.

Liman manages better with the comedy in the story. The first hour is fun. Pitt and Jolie do very well as a couple and Liman plays it perfectly that the audience already knows what is going on.

The second part is more action-packed and that's where Liman goes wrong again. He's just not the director for it I guess. Although he may occasionally bring out some heavy artillery, the action scenes are very mediocre. Not well portrayed, without much panache or impact.

It also doesn't help that the film seems to end three times in the last half hour. A somewhat more limited running time would have done the film well, but 2 hours often seems to be the norm for these types of vehicles.

Quite funny to watch, Pitt and Jolie are actually the main attraction, along with some funny humor the first hour. After that it goes downhill a bit too fast.

2.5*

“We have an unusual problem here, Jane. You obviously want me dead, and I'm less and less concerned for your well-being.”

mr. Smith & Mrs. Smith is a movie that will keep you watching because of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jollie. It crackles between the two and their scenes together are great to watch. What charisma and chemistry those two have. Especially in the first part when they are fighting each other, it is a lot of fun.

A married couple who don't know each other is a hitman are ordered to kill each other. Enough potential for an entertaining film and certainly in the first hour that is more than fulfilled. After that it gets a bit more action-packed but the film loses its charm. Pitt and Jolie have to work together, but as a arguing couple they are a lot more fun. A very entertaining film with two actors who radiate passion.

Till death do you part

In real life, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have already lost their vows, but during the filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, their love was still in full bloom. At least on the set, because on the screen the relationship of the former showbiz couple has already clearly deteriorated. The relationship gets the necessary tension again when they find out about each other's true professions, which causes them to grow closer to each other again. This is of course done in Hollywood style, accompanied by a lot of gunfire and explosions.

When I & Mrs. Smith for the first time I was about 17 years old and this title was easily one of the coolest titles I had ever seen. Gave me a few explosions and I was already happy. Now, 12 years later, I have become a lot more demanding and I was especially bothered by the lack of impact of the action scenes that kept being presented haphazardly to the viewer. After a while I got a bit ''action tired'' because the scenes also seemed to lack a certain flair.

At some point I also started to miss some background of the organizations that Pitt and Jolie worked for and some expansion would have been welcome, as happened in the second part of John Wick. Perhaps a nice idea to give this film a sequel after all these years within the John Wick universe where the screen is shared with mister Wick himself? oh well, you can always dream...

Don't get me wrong, because despite this criticism, I still think this is an entertaining movie. Pitt and Jolie have good chemistry together and their characters are portrayed very nicely by the actors. After all these years, I just don't see the classic in it anymore that I saw in it as a 17-year-old teenager and that's perhaps a good thing.

3.0*
