Despite their clearly egregious ways, Nichols’ camera shoots his handsome couples with tremendous affection. His tight close-ups put you right in the moment so that you can almost feel the heat emanating from the skin of their passion-filled bodies. His trademark zoom shots, while they still precisely cut through space, now move with the grace of an aged master. Like a Cartier-Bresson photograph, they reveal “the decisive moment” during which the emotions that threaten to sweep away the characters instantaneously come together...

The fallout is matrimonial as much as it is martial. Now, don't worry: there are still pyrotechnics and Jolie's trademark self-performed stunts. But in the end, the characters find that the toughest thing about a day at the office is coming home afterward. "We're impressed by the wrong things," says director Doug Liman, who did the Bourne action-adventure franchise. "Try to make a woman happy...
