Cruise Missile, Good Hit

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2014)

I don't want to repeat myself too much here, but Tom Cruise has been on a roll. This latest one pairs him up with director Doug Liman in a highly inventive summer blockbuster. Nasty aliens terrorise citizens of Earth, and every time William Cage is killed he finds himself alive a day before a large scale... losing steam here.
I don't want to repeat myself too much, but Tom Cruise has been on a roll. This latest one pairs him up with director Doug Liman in a highly inventive summer blockbuster. Cruise finds himself reliving a doomed battle against mysterious aliens, and the key to his mysterious inability to die lies with a very buff looking Emily Blunt. With a mesmerising concept, great performances, and great visuals, Edge of Tomorrow is a must-see. Too generic.
I don't want to repeat myself too much, but Tom Cruise has another great hit. His latest pairs him up with director Doug Liman. Cruise finds himself reliving the day of a doomed battle against alien nasties, and the key to his mysterious rebirthing lies with a buff Emily Blunt. Liman adds some British sensibilities atop Cruise's American charm, and while it's another alien invasion story, what we get is a lot smarter, wittier, and entertaining than it deserves to be. We're almost there.

It's almost typical alien invasion fare, but director Doug Liman adds some British sensibilities atop Cruise's American charm, and what we get is a lot smarter, wittier, and more entertaining than expected. A happy surprise.
