I’ve been a fan of movies since I was little. It started with animations, then action and then horror, but my all time favorites are action movies. So, with me being older now, I started watching old, classic action movies. Honestly so far, it’s been great and my favorite out of all is “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”.
“Mr. & Mrs. Smith” is an iconic action movie with lots of comedy from the 00s which I would consider an oldie but a goldie with its powerful cast. The film, directed by Doug Liman, stars Angelina Jolie as Jane Smith, Brad Pitt as John Smith with Vince Vaughn as Eddie. Jane and John Smith are a married couple whom are trying to keep their marriage alive and after they find out they are both assansins working for two rival associations which require them to kill each other, everything turns upside down. Also, with there being a great amonut of money on both of their heads John’s friend Eddie warns them about the associations planning to kill them which takes us to some immaculate and fun action scenes.
One of the most impressive and fun thing about this movie was the well though-through fight choreographies and action scenes. What I extremely enjoyed about them was the silly, little talks that were put in between the relentless fight of the couple. These little talks did not only turn the scene from something cruel to fun, bu also gave the audience the chance to really understand the twos’ relationship. The fight scenes were made specifically for them to work together as a couple after finding about each others jobs in which Jane (Angelina Jolie) makes John (Brad Bitt) feel bad about himself since she’s better than him. The thing that makes this movie even more powerful than it already is, is the casting of two well-known and adored people as a power couple.
