Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a 2005 action/comedy film, directed by Doug Liman and written by Simon Kinberg.
Two soundtrack albums were released from the film - a film score composed by John Powell and a soundtrack with songs used in the film. The albums were released at different times to avoid confusion, the former was released on June 28 and the latter on June 7, 2005.
The film was received amicably, slipping just below Rotten Tomatoes's 60% "fresh" threshold , with an average 55 on Metacritic, and 6.5 out of 10 on IMDB (both as of February 13, 2006) The budget of the film had been 110 million dollars, and as of December 6, in the U.S. alone it had raked in 186 million dollars ($478 million dollars worldwide ) making it a success at the box office.
On the other hand, the film was heavily criticized in Colombia due to the depiction it makes of its capital Bogotá. Less than four weeks after its release in Colombia, the General Secretary of the City Hall, Enrique Borda, sent a letter of protest to the director Doug Liman. In the letter he states that "It is evidenced, beyond any doubt, that the director and his production crew show a total level of ignorance by portraying (the city) as incipient (...), primitive, with scarce hotel infrastructure, dominated by poverty, depressed, disorganized, with high levels of violence; in conclusion, totally chaotic and not attractive at all". Borda also points out in his text that Bogotá was awarded with the title of "City of Peace" by the Unión de Ciudades Capitales Iberoamericanas (UCCI) and was declared "World Book Capital 2007" by UNESCO. Also, Bogotá is actually cold, not as portrayed in the film, where it is shown as a tropical city. The temperature in Bogotá rarely rises above 18° Celsius (64° Fahrenheit).Wikipedia
