This movie is a classic example of how bad Hollywood movies can be. It falls into same category as 8 mm starring Nicholas Cage (predicatable storyline) or an attempt to cash in the celebrity status of the on-screen duo (Gigli).
The only interesting portion of this movie is the opening sequence involving dialogues between the marriage counsellor and the couple. The movie then shows the boring live of a suburban couple which serves as a camouflage for actual identity of the couple. Suprisingly enough, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie lives in a mansion that could give event the wealthiest suburbanites a severe inferiority complex. They drive the most expensive cars and still Angelina Jolie cooks the dinner (a gardner to cut the lawn but no house maid/butler to cook and serve the food and do the dishes) - although an explanation is given for the absence of cook in late part of the movie.
This movie is more suited to 70s Bollywood with Amitabh playing the role of Brad Pitt and Zeenat Aman playing the role of Angelina Jolie. Sadly, Brad is no Amitabh. He tries hard to play the role of a spy performing daredevil stunt, but there too, lacks the charm of Pierce Brosnan.
The movie has no solid storyline to write about. It becomes as predcitable as it can get. The chicks, who serves as sidekick to Angelina Jolie looks ridiculours in their black outfits, mouthing dialogues full of technical jargon. Vince Vaughn as Brad's buddy, is totally wasted in an inconsequential role.
Don't waste your time and money on this movie if you want to see a good thriller movie. You can rerent "Pulp Fiction" or "Reservoir Dogs" instead. This movie can only be watched with your friends on an evening, when there is nothing else to do and you want to spend some fun time together.
The only reason why this film was a success was viewer curiousity over the Brangelina pairing. Otherwise, its a complete waste of time.
