This movie comes with much hype at the back of which is an alleged real romance that rocked the marriage of one of the hottest couples in Hollywood. So you are told to watch the movie not just for the thrilling action but also the chemistry between the stars.
So what did I make of it?
As for the movie itself, it gets a 2 on a 5 point scale. As for chemistry, it is 4! The movie for me is all over the place- the action is sometimes meaningless, the storyline isnt gripping enough and the 'secret' between a married couple for 5-6 years is too unrealistic for my taste. But theres something to be said about seeing Angelina and Brad together- they obviously like each others company and it shows! Somehow, I have read and seen more of these two outside of the movies in which they have acted- Brad Pitt always shows up in magazines in some top 50 handsome list or in another article where they comment on how he wanted kids and Jennifer didnt and thats what led to their failed marriage. Angelina Jolie is an ambassador for underprivileged kids and she has time and again expressed an intent to adopt from either Africa or Cambodia or Laos as she feels that kids everywhere around the world need a chance to grow, educate themselves and flourish. It is a noble endeavor, and if not for anything else, I would like her career to flourish so that she can do more on that front!
How many people do we have who actively give back to society or even think about it? For me, whether Angelina ends up with Brad is hardly of any significance- whether she does more to help underprivileged kids is far more important!
