liman and screenwriter shane salerno (the usual suspects, the uninvited) take the premise that we know that we know someone might be an assassin but aren't sure how they might be able to know. salerno has a great many seconds to show us that john and jane are so skillful, so cunning that every step of the way, the viewer can be sure that they are about to discover something sinister, even though we know that they will not. it's like a hitchcock movie where you just know that there is something off about this couple and it's only a matter of time before they unmask the mystery. there is this little scene at the beginning, as a cheesy "somebody might be watching" phone conversation plays, when john and jane talk to each other while in bed, and the funny thing is, i actually believed it. i thought that the idea that two people could play this kind of complex game and still maintain the excitement and pleasure of sexual intimacy is as rare as a couple who believe the same things about life. i thought that such a thing was, if not impossible, then close to impossible. and they pull it off, creating an illusion that i'm the audience and we're sitting in the same bed. i mean, who can think that i'm sitting in bed when watching a movie? i can't even pretend to myself that i'm watching a movie with steve mcqueen and diana scarwid. it's not quite that way.
