Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2014)

After being in the business for more than thirty years,many Tom Cruise haters have been frustrated and tried to bring him down particularly his comments on Scientology.But in the end,he always prevail.Just like in his new film Edge Of Tomorrow which became both a critical and commercial success.
Edge of Tomorrow stars Cruise and Emily Blunt together with Bill Paxton and Brendan Gleeson.It was adapted from the Japanese novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.Doug Liman was the director.
This is a science fiction film follows a setting sometime in the future. Major William Cage, a public relations officer in the military with no experience whatsoever in combat,has been deployed on a combat mission against the aliens.Despite the fact that he gets killed,the time loop when the events happen keeps on repeating with the same results.To avert the same result with him ending up dead,he teams up with Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski to defeat them.But what is fun in the movie is that each battle turns out to be different as the aliens improve as well in their combat which only leaves Cage dead in the end.The battle continues as long the the time loops keeps repeating until both defeat the enemy.
What makes this a different from the other Tom Cruise movies in the past?Well,it was an escape from his usual arrogant and extremely confident persona that people are used to seeing him in roles such as Brian Flanagan in Cocktail,Maverick in Top Gun or Cole Trickle in Days Of Thunder.In it,we see a coward and a scared Cruise character in Major Cage.And he is good at it for he delivers.Added to that,the screenplay was original and refreshing after seeing many alien films as late including Brad Pitt in World War Z who battled the zombies.The plot definitely provides a lot of intrigue to the viewer especially with regards to Cage's dilemma as it was exciting and witty added with interesting characters,great action sequences and lots of comedy.And what's even better,this film only proves that Tom Cruise will really work hard to remain on top amidst his critics and haters to please the world in whatever role he takes up and whatever movie he stars in to make a box office hit.
