Glad you liked it  I gotta confess, the first time I watched it I was a liiiittle underwhelmed because I was kinda expecting something different  But after the second time I ended up loving it...The story is something unexpected and ofc Angelina is the greatest part of everything. She slayed me every time 
I'm so glad critics all around agree she's basically magnificent and the best part of the movie  Here are some quotes I gathered from the Rotten Tomatoes site:
