Flowing smooth direction throughout the entire movie.

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2004)

This movie is easy to watch and get involved in. Cruise is
engaging and you almost get to like him if it wasn't for his chosen
profession. Jamie Foxx gives the most believable performance of
his career. Usually I can't stand his flippant meager attempts at
slapstick humor. But he excels in this effort. The camera angles
and scene works with reflections from the glass and out of focus
frames was very entertaining. A lot of planning and originality went
into this very enjoyable, dark, movie. Although the ending was not
to my liking. I am a romantic and like happy endings. A brief scene
with Foxx and Jada riding off in their limousine would have been
the way I would have ended it. Oh well Mr. Mann didn't ask for my
opinion. So I take no responsibility for his ending.
