    Not a bad movie I thought (hey, you put Angelina Jolie in something and despite any questions I may have regarding her mental state, damn she looks fine) but I thought the ending was a bit... missing? Ending with Brad with "ask me the sex question" I thought was funny but I don't get that the shoot-out at the hardware store was "it". Like, wipe out an entire team of assailants and "the boss" doesn't send more? I was expecting them to go after "the boss", hell, at one point I even thought "Aha! The boss is the marriage counsellor!" but he wasn't.

    Anyway, anyone else who saw this, what did you think? As I said, good movie and enjoyable. It doesn't take itself too seriously (except maybe the final shootout after they walk out of the fertilizer(?) bit, I thought that was maybe a bit much) but it just seems like... the ending was never really explained. The Boss just gave up or they ran away or what?

    I liked it, but i thought Pitt did all the work. Seemed to me that Jolie was only there for the story to work, Pitt was the one making the story interesting.

    And yes, the ending was kinda weird. Other than that, good movie.

    I agree with the Brad thing. The story did follow Brad more. Though to be fair, she did try to kill him three times and then she was the one who stopped the BMW's that were after them. So she certainly wasn't completely useless.
