Pretty Awful

Rating: 2/10 (19 December 2004)

More style than substance. And pretty badly styled. I didn't mind that Cruise was cast against type. I really liked Jamie Foxx. And how can you not love Jada Pinkett Smith? But the script was almost unusable from a reality point of view. Do NOT trust these hugely overinflated IMDb ratings that this movie received. I can't see how anyone could really like this movie. It doesn't leave you with anything but a bunch of loose ends and unfulfilled dreams. Highly NOT recommended. Not even a good rental. Don't waste your time and money unless you really feel like watching a movie with weird characters, a bad plot, and awful action scenes.
