As far as the assasings, there were also two helicopters, and several assasings who cascaded throught he roof.
Yeah, I noticed. It still just seemed out of place. Ya know? Why would they send their best if they were just red shirts from Star Trek to be killed in less then then seconds? It just doesn't work in my opinion. But it's all good. Not that big of a deal.

I loved this in every way possible! It was fun, absolutely hilarious, sexy and the acting was top notch! I was surprised at how funny the film was. Definetely one of the best of the year.
9/10 (A-)

Actually, I think that was a clever way of telling how many they had assisinated, not had relations with. That was my take at least?

I have never had so much fun at the movies! This movie was packed with action, and the action sequences delivered, especially the freeway sequence. Very satisfying to any action fan in my opinion. The chemistry between Pitt and Jolie was mesmerizing, and a joy to watch. The movie also had some great laughs, and I thought Vince Vaughn was great comic relief. The scene at the construction site was also really cool. It was also really cool to see Adam Brody, and Stephanie March of Law & Order, getting some work.

Just finally saw this. It started off so strong and then just died. I mean, at the end, I just thought "What happened? Why did the assasins not try again later?" The film felt incomplete and the fun I was having just ended in the last 20 minutes or so (when it was just like every other action shoot 'em up).
Besides all the typical action problems -- nobody ever hits the heroes but one shot or a hit on the neck takes out the bad guys...
And really, aren't the "heroes" the bad guys? I mean, they broke into a federal prison and apparently killed some federal agents. I'm supposed to cheer them on when they do so?
Meh. A for the first part of the film, F for the last 20 minutes, giving it a C average.

This was one of the worst of the year. Jolie pisses me off, Pitt pisses me off, everyone pisses me off. It seemed so...boring and...cliched...and...cartoony, I guess you can say. Never intriguing and I decided to turn it off with about 20 minutes left to go. Seemed like a good decision according to Groucho.

It was somewhat of a letdown to me because the trailers made it look like a really exciting actioner. It definitely doesn't measure up to True Lies. The chemistry between Pitt and Jolie makes this film. They are great together. The humor is there and I enjoyed it. Vince Vaughn sadly just...disappears towards the end. Too bad, I liked his character.
What I didn't like is how dumb the movie actually was and how dull most of its action was. The showdown was downright pathetic. Not only was it completely unrealistic..heck, it didn't even try to be. Jumping away from a missle? Shooting 20 opponents while standing right there without any cover? C'mon! The chae scene was fun, but all the action that followedwas just terrible.
The first 30-40 minutes of the movie are just exhilarating fun, then it slowly, but gradually goes down. The finale just left a very sour taste in my mouth. It is good as a comedy, but it's also a very mediocre actioner. True Lies knew how to combine both much better.

It's a good action film, but nothing special and terribly unmemorable. The ending was dumb as hell too, I couldn't believe they'd stoop so low to having the 2 to single handily kill those assasins. Right.
