Yes, Brad and Angelina are there staring back at me every time I click on an Internet browser these days. But "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" takes me back to where it all began.
It's an old-fashioned Hollywood caper that goes down like a hot fudge sundae -- the writing is sharp, the production is slick, the chemistry is sizzling and, thanks to its speed, the flaws that do exist just zoom right by.Scene bite: "You still alive, baby?" Angelina Jolie's Mrs. Smith purrs, crouched as she is on the bullet-riddled stairs of her home, each hand gripping a machine gun, which turn out to be the perfect accessories for the backless black cocktail dress and stilettos as she takes in the news that her spouse is also an assassin and she's his next target. Brad Pitt's Mr. Smith feigns a moan in reply as he aims in her direction. Bang, bang. It's to die for.
