Wickedly entertaining

Victor is A mean machine of a man that resembles Gabriel Shears killer from Swordfish. Jamie Fox surprised me in this and appears to be maturing as an actor the same way Tom Hanks was when he made his turn in Bonfire of the Vanitys. The chemistry between Cruise and Foxx works like fish and rice. Which is to say it works very well.
The Digital camera-work was the only reason I skipped the movies theatrical release, And I regret it now because it works so well here that you feel like you can almost taste the scenery. All of the visuals are breathtaking. Especially one shot of Downtown LA when you look past the car at the neighboring buildings I felt like I was watching Akira. There is an awesome sense of atmosphere that you really want to see to appreciate.
Watch this movie you've never tasted gun metal like this before.
