User Review
Nice Surprise!
Rating: 7/10
I saw an advance screening of this movie tonight, and I must say it far
exceeded my expectations! Of course, due to the stars involved I knew
there'd be sex appeal. And due to the advertising I knew there'd be
plenty of stuff "gettin' blowed up real good." But what I wasn't
expecting was the tongue in cheek jokes, dark humor, and respectable
plot twist! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will only fuel rumors of their
relationship with their performances - their chemistry on screen is
scintillating, to say the least. The allure of each actor as an
individual is undeniable, but when they're together, whether getting
busy or getting pummeled, the screen fairly sizzles. It's a popcorn,
Hollywood movie, of course, and you'll have to get past the fact that
the two leads are the only two among many professional killers who seem
to be decent shots! But the action is kickin, the acting well above
par, the leads luminous, the plot is lots of fun, and the laughs are
plenty. Enjoy! I sure did...
