Iron Man meets Groundhog day

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2014)

I was not really sure what to expect when I went to see this movie and who was staring in it other than Cruise and Blunt. I was quite surprised to see Paxton and whole list of British and Southern Irish faces on the screen.
The story was well scripted and constructed. The main drive of the movie is to win the war everything else is secondary. This is done at a fast past, so you will need to remain focused to keep up. This is not a boy meets girl movie but a man with a gun on a mission to win a war by all means where necessary.
The repeat were cleverly done so as not to bore you. It would have been nice to see more of Blunt and Paxton in the movie but this did not distract from the plot themselves.
The special effect were first rate, well grounded and realistic without being mind blowing or over spectacular.
There is a lot of killing in the movie but the effects are more to the level of the "Terminator" rather than "Saving Private Ryan".
There are some humorous and romantic bits in the movie but this is a gun tooting fast paced action packed movie.
