quick review: mr & mrs smith

it's a testament to angelina's beauty when she can even make rubber boots look super sexy!

surprisingly funny and intelligent, mr & mrs smith manages to overcome it's boombastic blow em up image and instead focus on the core issue of a stilted marriage (the fact that these two are secret assassins who discover that they have to kill each other is the least of their problems!).

but what makes this film a summer gem is the fact that director doug liman (bourne supremacy/ go) manages to engage us with the not so outlandish situation where, even with the two best looking people in the world, they have to work hard with staying together (and literally not kill each other).

my grade: B+
