I really DID NOT LIKE this movie.
It was a clever premise, with a plot that moved fast and two stars that are pleasant to look at.
But the violence went over the top!
It went from suspense to comedy with bullets and punches flying. Too many bullets. Too many punches. It was supposed to be fake violence, funny in its exagerration, but how funny is it when a man is kicking his wife on the ground? Hitting a guy in the head with a golf club? Throwing a guy out a minivan door under an oncoming car?
Some of this was just gratuitous, like the profiles of Angelina's body. But somehow it went farther than comic book violence to something disturbing, something that was hard to laugh at and even stomach.
And the only message seemed to be that marriage is war.
This could have been a lot better with more sublety and less brutality.
