Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

Doug Liman directs Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Vince Vaughn in this romcom actioner where sexy two assassins get married to each other without revealing their day jobs.

Glossy but cobbled together from obvious reshoots and unfulfilled subplots. Essentially trailer moments lingered on as they have nowhere to go. No one’s finest hour but it is passable. The action in the second half is a lot more full on than you’d expect but does become one note by the actual finale. Has Jolie ever starred in a genuinely great movie?
