With two hot stars, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, it should be a great one, I thought.
In fact, this film is extremely good in one sense, and extremely bad in another.
The story is actually disgusting, awful. The biggest flaw of the plot is at the end. Why killing all those "nobodies" in that big store would help finishing the whole thing? Where were their bosses? The bosses were the ones trying to kill them both. If not all of them died, the bosses should keep calling people to finish the Smiths off.
Anyway, having a couple who have married for 5 or 6 years, not known each other's secrets, and then suddenly all the fighting and telling truths, is really fun and fresh to be put on the wide screen.
On the other hand, I think the fighting action scenes are awesome. I don't mean they fought beautifully, in fact I'm not a person who likes action films very much. The awesome thing is the audience (well, at least me) could feel the Smiths' being desperate to finish each other off. And at the same time, we (again, at least me) could also see that they didn't actually want each other to die. I think the confusion there was really presented well. At least, I think it was.
Somebody regard movies as art, while some think it's good to serve with pop corns and cola. To be honest, I buy both theories. I had a great fun watching Mr and Mrs Smith.
By the way, the background music was not bad. Especially those original instrumental ones.
