Mr. and Mrs. Smith
John and Jane Smith (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) lead normal lives with normal jobs in a normal community. But when you're using the word "normal" that many times, you know something is amiss. In fact, both are trained assassins but have never revealed that fact to each other. When both receive orders to take out the same target (Adam Brody), their secrets eventually come out and they deal with it the only way they know: by trying to kill each other.

While it's nice that Jolie and Pitt bring an unexpected sense of chemistry to the picture, the whole thing seems to be a derivative of movies and shows we've seen before; chief among them is director Doug Liman's previous work in "The Bourne Identity." But then you could also see elements of Pitt's "Fight Club", "Spy Game", and the Ocean films as well as Jolie's Tomb Raider films. Even Adam Brody's character could come straight from The O.C. As a result, its only original idea is to bring two main characters in the mix, something Liman does well. But with the lack of a cohesive and plausible plot (the final confrontation isn't too believable, but not seeing the signs after 5, no 6, years of marriage is even more unbelievable) as well as its ignorance to the strong supporting cast (Vince Vaughn and Kerry Washington should have been used more) doom Mr. and Mrs. Smith to a continuing anonymous status. 1.5 stars
