Mr. and Mrs. Smith


Doug Liman does it again. He once again shows Jerry Bruckhiemer and the rest of Hollywood how to make a good action movie. I could say that the movie is smart but it isn't, but it is good. Jolie and especially Pitt do an above average job with the comedy, and as he did in the Bourne Identity, Liman has crafted entertaining, fast paced action scenes and car chases (the fight in the house is especially good). The movie also stars Adam Brody (the O.C.) and Vince Vaughn, who seems to have stepped right out of Old School and into this movie. I don't mind the scuzzy, acerbic, five o'clock shadow Vince Vaughn... in small doses. And that is exactly how he is used here, this is the PITT/JOLIE show and its pretty damn good.
