Two hot spies meet in an exotic locale for a job, trade cocky banter and end up having hot sex… if it sounds similar to one of Brad Pitt’s previous roles, it initially pretty much is. Like a WW2 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mr & Mrs Smith, Robert Zemeckis’ film꧙ trades on the beauty and chemistry of its leads (considerabꦛle in both cases) before switching into a sub-le Carre mole drama.
That much is obvious from the it’s-all-in-there trailer, as Canadian airman-spy Max (Pitt) reevaluates his entire existence when his French Resistance wife Marianne (Cotillard), is accused of being a Nazi spy. Could the woman he loves, who’s literally pushed his baby out amid a London air-raid, be working a deep deep cover?
The screenplay by Steven Knight (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Eastern Promises, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Locke, Peaky Blinders) competently explores some chewy themes: the complexities of matrimonial and state loyalties; the breꩵaking point of love when tested.
All of which is perfectly diverting when it’s Pitt and Cotillard turning on the charm. Beautifully shot, immaculately costumed and seemingly CG-ed to their most perfect selves, their luminosity and star power lift potentially cheap moments (lustful looks in mirrors, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:English Patient-style car sex, impꦜrobable personal misuse of waꦛr-effort equipment) to classy, if glassy, levels.
