“Satisfied??? Not for years!!!”

I can certainly see why Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt became a couple in their personal life because the chemistry and electricity between them is smoking in this film.
Plot: John and Jane Smith (Heart throb Brad Pitt and sensuous Angelina Jolie) are a mild mannered couple married for six years with dark secrets. As irony would have it, they are so good at concealing their true selves, that neither knows that the other is their biggest rival working for two competing Agencies until they are hired to hit the same mark while on a routine mission. A memorable fight ensues in their home similar to what we saw in Danny DeVito’s "War of the Roses."
Much of the enjoyment comes from watching Pitt and Jolie play off each other. The playful banter between the two was fun (Pitt confesses that he was married once before and Jane snippily demands the ex's name and social security number) and there is enough excitement and plot deception to keep you watching. The music mostly supports the comic undercurrent and scenes with Eddie (Vince Vaughan) and John are fun to watch. Desperado gun-blazing style, explosions, car chases and the tango…I loved it.
