Absolutely Riveting.

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2015)

My favorite actor Tom Cruise(Cocktail 1988) is in his element here. A superb and believable performance by him, proves that in other film where he has not performed well, the script and director were to be blamed.
The film based on a screenplay adapted from the 2004 Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. The plot device of the film is a time-loop, where an event happens over and over again.
Plot: In the near future, a race of space aliens called Mimics has taken over continental Europe. In England, General Brigham, head of humanity's United Defense Force, orders Major William Cage, a public affairs officer and former advertising executive, to cover combat on the beaches of France during the next day's assault on the Mimics. Cage objects to the dangerous assignment and threatens to use his public relations skills to turn the public against Brigham when the casualties start increasing from the invasion. General Brigham has Cage arrested; Cage is knocked out during an ensuing escape attempt. He wakes in handcuffs at a forward operating base at Heathrow Airport and discovers he has been labeled a deserter and put on combat duty for the invasion under the command of Master Sergeant Farell.
The invasion is a disaster for the humans. Cage manages to kill a large Mimic but dies as he is sprayed with its acid-like blood. He then wakes up at Heathrow the previous morning. No one believes his story that he knows the invasion will fail. He repeats the loop of dying on the beach and waking at Heathrow over and over many times until he encounters Sergeant Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt) during the invasion on the beach. She recognizes his ability to anticipate events and tells him to locate her the next time he "wakes up".
Watch the film to find out what happens next...
Verdict: one for your DVD/BLURAY collection. Absolutely breathtaking C.G.I. FX.
