Jaime: Yuck. In the words of Jay-Z . . . what more can I say to you? Bang bang, shoot em up, have some sex, kill every bad guy and never get hit, the couple stays together in the end and realizes they do love each other. I could only watch about a half hour of this movie cumulatively. If there is anyone in the world who disagrees, please tell me why.

Jeff: Well, I disagree, because I have seen 30 seconds of this movie, pieced together from trailers, and already it's my favorite movie of the year. Obviously, I'm kidding...but not really. Tell me, Jaime, did you expect anything OTHER than a shoot-em up, sex filled, bad shooting villains and expert 'good' guys, with the end wrapping up nice and pretty-like with the two loving each other? I mean, what from the trailer would give you the impression that the filmmakers were going for something else here? It's an action movie with two of the bigger stars in Hollywood. What's better than a sexy action thriller starring them? It's Angelina Jolie; men will see it because of her, women will see it to spit acid towards her image on screen. Personally, I'd see it for Vince Vaughn. He had to have had a few moments that were worthwhile. The point is, sometimes you just can't expect anything more than a formulaic action movie, you just can't.

to Jaime, the skank
This movie isn't a shoot em up movie. They got shot a shit ton, remember when they took off their shirts and had all sorts of bullet holes in them? Well, there you go. Also, Vince Vaughn was funny as usual, and as two of the worlds best agents, are they supposed to just lay over and get shot by a whole bunch of shitty agents, didn't think so. The over analysis of this movie is drastic. Maybe if you realized this movie wasn't made to win an academy award, but rather to entertain their target audience and make a buttload of money then you could get past your blind view points.This is your younger brother, over and out.

Re: to Jaime, the skank
You are right, Vince Vaughan was good as usual. Some of what you point out is true, they are elite fighters, they did get hit, it is made just for entertainment rather than awards, but can't we expect more from action movies nowadays? I am bored.
