Movie #82 - Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Title: Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Director: Doug Liman

Release Year: 2005

Plot Summary: A bored married couple is surprised to learn that they are assassins hired to kill each other.

Thoughts: Another surprisingly entertaining movie - I really wasn't expecting much going into it, but it was definitely a high-quality popcorn flick. I personally appreciated the whole "love is a battlefield" metaphor being taken completely literally. :)

Two complaints to mar this film - while the majority of the action sequences were great, a couple in particular (Pitt breaking into Jolie's secret headquarters, the final shootout) were just too over-the-top and hokey for my liking. Also, Vince Vaughn. Am I the only one on the planet who really doesn't think he's all that and a bag of chips?

Rating (0-10): 7

Recomendations: I'd say that this and The Longest Yard are probably the most fun movies out at the moment. If you're going out to the theater, I'd recommend one of these two.
