Cheesy, but recommended

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2005)

In "Dumb and Dumber" the taxi driver drops a beautiful woman off at the airport, and so does this movie start. "Stripes" starts in a similar way, but they never make it to the airport.
But this is not a comedy.
Everything in-between is fun adventure, but the plot is weakened by unlikely events leading to less likely events, finally to the beautiful woman from the beginning again.
Cruise and Foxx are great in this movie, especially Foxx. Maybe its just me, but the awkwardness of the plot keeps me from rating this movie high. I give it a 6 out of 10.
