Domestic Disturbance

Doug Liman’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a pretty good action film. I watched it late last night when I was bored out of my skull. I was surprised to see that it didn’t fare too well on Rotten Tomatoes and Netflix’s user ratings. Sure the film is nothing but eye candy and elaborately staged action sequences, but isn’t that what film is really all about? Jean-Luc Godard once said that all you need to make a good movie is a girl and a gun.

Also, you have to give credit to Liman and screenwriter Simon Kinberg for taking the allegory of broken marriages and domestic violence to the logical extreme.

And has Angelina Jolie ever looked more attractive on film? The woman seems to be specially created for the movies.
