Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)
Construction executive John and tech support consultant Jane are answering questions during marriage counseling. The couple has been married for “five or six” years, but their marriage is suffering to the point that they cannot remember the last time they had sex. They tell the story of their first meeting in Bogotá, Colombia, where they were both secretly on the run from the Colombian authorities. Since the authorities were looking for tourists traveling alone after a recent assassination, the two claimed to be together to avoid being questioned. They quickly fell in love and got married. John later states that Jane “looked like Christmas morning” to him on the day they met; she claims she thought he looked like “the most beautiful ‘mark'” she had ever seen, though her body language implies otherwise.
In reality, John and Jane are both skilled field operatives working for different contract killing firms, both among the best in their field, each concealing their true professions from one another. The couple live in a large Colonial Revival house in the suburbs, and to keep up appearances, reluctantly socialize with their “conventionally” wealthy neighbors. Under these cover stories, John and Jane balance their apparently mundane marriage — which both of them find after a few years to be growing dull and suffocating — with their secretive work. When both are assigned to kill DIA prisoner Benjamin “the Tank” Danz during a transfer, they encounter each other on the job and the hit ends up botched: Danz survives, while John and Jane are assigned to kill each other instead.
