Mr & Mrs Smith - 2005 Movie USA 126 Mins - Romantic Comedy Action Film Not the first story of a contract killer who is married, but definitely the most fun.
After 5 or 6 years together the Smiths are in a rut, so they visit a marriage counsellor.
This was the perfect story for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, because the chemistry between them made a fantastic movie from a mundane script.
Although I can’t personally identify with the “day to day boredom of life as a hit man” angle, some things resonate, like the horror Jane Smith feels at being trapped in the suburbs where women assume she is just dying to crank out babies. Which is to say there are lots of slick moments in this movie with guns and bullets and knives, but lots of very relatable human moments as well.
It’s just awesome fun.
