What a surprise

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2018)

First time I saw it in theaters, I had no idea what I was going to: "action flick with Tom Cruise? Urrr fine, let's check it out", and wow. The movie is clearly above your average unknown action movie, it has something special.
I mean, there's Tom Cruise, a war and action, and it's based on a manga, this movie had all chances to be dumb as F but they somehow managed to make something pleasant to look at!
I can't judge this movie based on its source material since I've never read it, but as a standalone movie it holds up.
Whether you like him or not, Tom Cruise is very convincing and Emily Blunt seems to be built for tough roles, she looks pretty badass.
Plot is pretty cool for the first half of the movie, then it goes a bit downhill imo because the element or surprise is gone but still fun to look at.
