Mostly what this movie does is thoroughly demolish the old myth that relationships must be built on trust. For here we have two characters who are totally incapable of trust. Maybe it's their line of work as spooks, or maybe they are good at their work because of the way they think. Maybe they just leaned the truth about Santa Claus at too early an age. Whatever the reason, they cannot trust anyone or anything. And to tell the truth (never their first impulse) they aren't all that trustworthy either. But they do have a good relationship, based around the pleasure of each other's company and the many things they have in common.
