Movie description named after a 1941 alfred hitchcock film, mr. And mrs. Smith is really its own ball of flaming wax, with enough sizzling chemistry between stars angelina jolie and brad pitt to blow up a small building. He shows he is equally adept in comedy and action, and she manages to set new screen standards of bad-ass sexiness. Its impossible to dislike this pair, or a movie that makes being married seem like such insane fun. Pitt and jolie play extremely skilled professional assassins who have managed to stay married for five years without ever realizing each others profession because they work for rival agencies and the work is top secret. When their paths eventually cross on a high-level hit, one of the most lethal battles of the sexes in the history of cinema is officially on. Thanks to a genuinely witty script, the issue isnt who will win, but whether the couple will realize they are meant for each other before its too late. Director doug liman was obviously the right choice for the material, having proved his ability to fuse engaging romance with knuckle-biting action in 2002s the bourne identity. The comedy is sophisticated and witty, the action is visceral and intense, and there is plenty of satisfying eye candy. Another plus is vince vaughn as a fast-talking fellow hit man who lives with his mother. The cinematography is by bozan bajelli (the genius behind abel ferraras best mid-1980s work) who imbues each environment, whether its the smiths house, or the urban streets--with its own evocative color scheme and feel.
