Synopsis: A bored married couple is surprised to learn that they are both assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other.

My Thoughts: The movie that broke up Brad & Jennifer. Good move, Brad. The story is very interesting. This is a couple that met in a foreign country, got married very quickly and within 5 years, hated each other. They both lead double lives that the other doesn't know about, and wouldn't ya know, they're both hitmen. Both of them find out that their partner is their next scheduled hit and they have 48 hours to off each other before other hitmen come after them.

It's pretty ironic and the writing is very good. I watched this movie with my roommate and we both agreed that the dialogue made this movie that much better. It's wity humor, which you wouldn't expect from a married couple literally trying to kill each other. The only thing that I didn't like about this movie were the action scenes. They're waaaay to over the top and just not believable in the least. The movie is somewhat predictable, but has a good cast. Vince Vaughn makes an appearance and anything he touches now-a-days turns to gold. He plays a 40 something assassin who still lives with his mother. Brilliant.

Rating: I'll give this 4 Brangelina's. The action is cool (though over-the-top), the cast is awesome and the dialogue is great and totally unexpected for this type of film.



Closing Touch: Id say this is a movie to buy. It's a movie that can be watched a few times before it gets old.
