*SUMMARY OF THE STORY
The story begins when an ordinary couple, John and Jane Smith, who live on the outskirts of
town in an ordinary marriage. From the outside they are not much different from all other
couples, John and Jane Smith met 'four or five years ago' in Bogota , fell in love and
eventually married.
No one would have thought that Jane and John were actually legendary assassins. Jane
skillfully plays her daggers, while John has a collection of deadly weapons ready to be used.
John kept his rifle and money in the hole under the tool shed. Jane hid knives and other
weapons in a tray that slid in from under the oven.
John and Jane turned out to work for two secret organizations that were contradicting each
other, and when a conflict occurred between these two organizations they were both trapped
in a situation they were not aware of. The two of them get orders to go to a remote desert
location in the southwest and take out a mysterious target. They go to the place separately,
only to find out that their target is each other. There was one situation where they could tell
each other, but then they had to kill each other too.

the genetic makeup of humans.In the experiment Petr managed to create a super soldier who

Singapore.
*EVALUATION STATES THE JUDMENT
In this film more emphasis on fighting action, in an ordinary plot easy to predict. Perfection
scenes when fighting wrapped in stunning editing effects can cover a boring plot.
*SOUNDTRACKS
Daybeu
Written by Maxwell Young
Performed by Maxwell Suited
luckily the soundtracks presented are epic because when the fighting scenes become more
exciting.

*CONCLUSION
From the two films, they both present secret agents, but in the film, Mr. & mrs. smith is more
colorful because there are nuances of married and romantic life and the scenes are very
exciting and the plot is unpredictable in the middle of the film. whereas in the Hitman film,
agent 47 seems monotonous and the plot is predictable, but the scene from agent 47 is
extraordinary with perfect scenes that never lose, this makes it possible to cover up the
monotonous plot.

I personally am very happy and entertained with the scenes that are shown from the two
films, I highly recommend the film with the secret agent-themed action genre.
