Review: Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Or should I say belated review? It’s been a couple weeks since The Girlfriend and I went to see this.
For those that don’t mind a love story as long as there is some blood, gunfire and explosions, this is the movie for you. All I can tell you about the plot is that Mr. and Mrs. Smith are both assassins – but they work for rival agencies. Neither knows what the other truly does for a living, having both bought the other’s cover story when they met several years ago.
You can guess that this leads to some sticky situations. For example, one of Mrs. Smith’s assignments requires her to be a dominatrix as a cover, and she has to sneak out of the house in full leather gear, kill the mark and then go to a dinner party at the neighbor’s house. Everything goes well, with the exception that she forgot to take off her sexy fishnet stockings before changing into her pale little frumpy dress.
The acting may not be spectacular considering that Brad Pitt essentially plays himself, but you won’t be disappointed either. Looking through the IMDb listing for the movie, there are apparently some gun geeks out there with far too much time on their hands, but I assure you, the slight inconsistencies don’t interfere with the film for the rest of us.
All in all, a damn good flick with several lines that I’m sure will make it into this year’s vernacular.
