Sr. y Sra. Smith

Simon Kinberg

John and Jane seem like the perfect suburban couple, but beneath the surface, they hide dangerous secrets: they are both highly trained assassins working for rival agencies. Their carefully maintained facade crumbles when they are ordered to kill each other, forcing them into a deadly game of cat and mouse. But as their missions intersect, they discover their agencies have set them up. Facing betrayal from both sides, John and Jane must decide whether to fight each other or team up to uncover the truth. Filled with action, tension, and dark humor, this story explores love, trust, and survival when the stakes couldn't be higher.
