Well, this movie was fun to watch. The actors are beautiful, the action is great. But.... what HAPPENED?!? I mean it... the ending is not an ending. It's a joke. There's an entire part of the movie missing. It's like Doug Liman (the great director of the Bourne Identity) just cut the film off at the middle. There's no resolution at all to the third act - just a 'happy ending' which Jane Smith (Angelina Jolie's character) says only happens when stories aren't finished. Is this some kind of in-joke at the fans' expense? Is this supposed to be a modern-day fairy tale, where the couple go to counseling, discuss (or don't discuss) their problems, then an outside event thrusts them together and the problems are happily resolved or pushed aside/made irrelevant?
*sigh*
As if I expected Shakespeare or a Merchant Ivory production. But still.... unfinished it is, and unsatisfied it left me.

it was indeed meant to be a joke.
