One of the best thrillers in years!

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2005)

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Jamie Foxx, Tom Cruise, and Jada Pinkett-Smith all give top-notch performances. All of them are highly likable characters; even Cruise who plays a hit-man who appears unfeeling to his "victims," while being "caring" to others, especially Foxx. What I liked about this is that it is different from most thrillers. It doesn't use the same tired tricks that other thrillers seem to use. (when someone appears dead, he is dead).
There are some great dialogue exchanges with Cruise and Foxx as well as with Pinkett-Smith and Foxx.
The movie never gets boring from beginning to end. This movie looks like a springboard for more roles for Foxx and Pinkett-Smith!
