Mr & Mrs Smith
Brad Pitt as John and Angelina Jolie as Jane play competing assassins married to each other who are then assigned to kill each other.
John is a successful construction contractor, Jane, an intelligent computer systems entrepreneur. They have been married for 6 years, both of them are sick of their marriage and to set things right, they are seeing a marriage counselor. But each of them has a secret that the other doesn't know: they are both professional assassins. Both Jane and John think that their respective spouse has married them just to keep cover, and seek revenge.
Together, they find out that their respective agencies have sent assassins to kill them both, as fraternizing with the enemy (in their case, even marrying the enemy) is a deadly sin.They are both assigned by their employers to kill the same person. When they each try to take out the target, they get in each other's way and mess up the job. Now they are asked to after the guy who made them miss their target. Dodging barrages of gunfire at every turn, the Smiths shame-facedly admit to each other how blatantly they have lied over the last five to six years.
However together, they dispose of the assassins that are on their heels, remove the web of lies and live as a happy couple.
The film has good chemistry between the characters and the comic husband-to-wife infight bantering.
A genuinely witty script and great action makes this film worth watching.
