A husband and wife struggle to keep their marriage alive until they realize they are both secretly working as assassins. Now, their respective assignments require them to kill each other.
What critics thought
Critics were split roughly down the middle on this action-comedy: most agreed that Pitt and Jolie's onscreen chemistry was the film's engine, but disagreed sharply over whether there was anything beneath it. Supporters found it a slick, self-aware summer entertainment; detractors felt the promising premise collapsed into hollow follow-through.
“a full-on action flick, subversive rom-com and weapons-grade star vehicle that's drenched in Tinseltown glitz, from a director who knows how to put the money on the screen while his tongue's firmly in his cheek”
Simon Braund·Empire
“What makes the movie work is that Pitt and Jolie have fun together on the screen and they're able to find a rhythm that allows them to be understated and amused even during the most alarming developments”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“Its ideas are often borrowed, and it's hardly deep and meaningful, but it's a fantastically fun film”
Daniel Saney·Digital Spy
“The tiny smidgen of cleverness on display here is contained entirely in the premise. The follow-through is nonexistent”
