Drab Tom Cruise

Rating: 2/10 (9 September 2008)

This movie did start out like any other...of Tom Cruises movies. He in all the years he's been in Hollywood, still has not learned to act. Granted he is much better than he was in his early days, however, a man of his status, pay and notoriety, should provide more substance.
The movie without providing any spoilers, was drab, it moved along with the grace and fervor of an 87 year old with a hip replacement and arthritis. The plot was exceptionally unexceptional, and provided little meat. I found myself waiting desperately for this to be over, or at least hoping for a good "wrap up" at the end.
The one saving grace was the acting of Jamie Foxx. He certainly has come a long way since the Wayne Brother days.He actually made me believe that he was just the OCD cab driver pitching a dream. The nuances of the way he held himself leave much to discuss if and when he moves on to more humble parts like these. He is one to keep an eye on.
