DVD | Mr & Mrs Smith

2 comments

OK, time for some serious Hollywood action. Check your brains at the door, and be prepared for two hours of fun! Mr & Mrs Smith is an action/comedy feast that stars two of Hollywoods most popular actors; Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

The story centres around a bored married couple. Their lives have become mundane. They have dinner ay 7pm sharp every single day, and they talk as little as possible. Their lives are so individually compartmentalised that they have little time for each other.

So they go and see a marriage counsellor. But he’s never going to be able to fix what is wrong with their marriage; it’s a marriage built on lies from day one. It’s a marriage were neither can share their most intimate thoughts or issues.

You see, they’re both cold-blooded killers. Paid assassins at the top of their game, and it’s a game where you don’t let on what you do for a living.

So what happens when you both get sent to do the same job? You discover that the love of your life is also your biggest competition, and is now out to kill you!

After a little while of trying to kill each other, they realise that they can’t; they actually love each other. And on top of that their respective bosses are now trying to kill both of them.

Fast paced and visually spectacular with plenty of humour to keep the movie light, this is a popcorn extravaganza.

Spiritual Content
Bet you didn’t think there’d be any spiritual content in this movie did ya? But consider this, even though they have huge problems, when the rubber hits the road, they come together and put their lives on the line to protect each other. They found a love that far exceeds friendship or brotherly love.

In the Greek language there are several different words for Love; Philla or Phileo is love between friends, Eros is sexual love and then there is Agape.

Agape is sacrificial love. The kind of love that a person has when they are prepared to lay down their lives for someone else. It’s the type of love that took Jesus to the cross.

wasn't there a movie a while back about a married couple who were both assassins? I think Angelica Houston might have played the wife. Or was it Kathleen Turner? Anyway, what happened in this movie was that they were each other's hits, and ended up killing each other.

I think it's Prizzi's Honor, back in 1985 staring Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner.
