Well crafted story and a return to top action hero form for Cruise

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2014)

It really is Groundhog day mets Source code. Not just because of the construct of the film. but also because it manages to infuse action and comedy very nicely. Tom cruise's character development from a snivelly marketing guy to an action hero is really well done. Also his chemistry with Emily Blunt is amazing without the dramatic romantic overtones. My only criticism would be that the ending could have been better and much less soft and slightly.Even the fact that other actors don't feature prominently other than Cruise and Blunt works because they are both superb in this movie All in all I was really surprised with this smart, zippy action thriller with subtle comedic touches.
