Plot

A married couple working for two different Spy Agencies, unbelievably they don't know what the other does despite of how and where they met, are ordered to take each other out. Their marriage has become routine and a bit of a drag; needless to say this doesn't remain the case for very long.

Pros

I really love the little "marital" spats they have in the beginning of the movie and the one-liners spread throughout. The dialogue is witty and the action scenes are a lot of fun if not a little long.

Cons

So, how believable is it that neither spouse knows what the other is doing regardless of how they met? Do not expect anything in this film to activate your brain and it is very strange that the two main characters are the only ones that can actually shoot straight.

Extras

  • Commentary by Director Doug Liman
  • Commentary by Producer Lucas Foster and Producer Akiva Goldsman
  • "Making a Scene" Featurette
  • Deleted Scenes
  • Theatrical Trailers

Recommendation

This is a brain-dead dumbed-down action flick that is a lot of fun to watch as long as you aren't expecting anything more. This is the movie that put Pitt and Jolie together in real life and gave the tabloids something new to talk about; that alone may make many of wish this film was never made.
