snoozer of a plot and lousy acting leave thriller flat

Rating: 2/10 (30 December 2005)

This is without a doubt the worst movie I have seen in a long time. Tom Cruise makes a sloppy hit man and the movie ends literally because he runs out of bullets. First off, no hit man in his right mind would use the same vehicle time after time. Do ya think that would put the cops and feds hip to him? well duh!!! Then he screws up his whole shtick by dumping a body on top of the van then putting it in a trunk! for crying out loud is this laurel and Hardy or what?
In another plot hole, Cruise obviously offs his target with a silencer but then takes out two thugs with a gun loud enough for us to hear cop cars coming blocks away!!! Come on ! use the silencer for crying out loud.. Then the car crash! No one could have walked out of that crash without at least a broken bone but both of them act like it was a walk in the park! And who heard of four unarmed cops chasing a killer in a crowded disco? Cruise takes all four of them out of course with the same gun he's used since the beginning of the movie.
In another scene in the hospital he sets his briefcase down half a room away, conveniently next to Foxx who then bolts with it! Of course Cruise has the stuff he needs on a palm pilot...we knew that but what we didn't know is why he needed the case in the first place!
Yes this comment contains many spoilers but only about as many as this terrible film has plot holes.... sorry about that
