OK, I didn't expect THAT....

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2014)

I'm a Tom Cruise Fan, have been for as long as I can recall. Loved Jack Reacher, even if he wasn't big enough for the role, but he was intense enough to pull it off, glad there's another one coming.
Saw the trailer for edge of tomorrow and watched it not for the premise, but because of TC. Spiderman 2 was meh, Godzilla was good, X Men DOFP was OK, left the franchise in a good place. But we're not here to talk about the movies that passed quietly into the night, we're here to talk about edge of tomorrow.
From the first few minutes you can actually sense TC's excitement about having a role that has some meat on the bone, A LOT of meat in fact.
I LOVED this movie, in fact, it's a strong contender for my movie of 2014, and I watch A LOT of movies - just ask my wife, she needs a photo of me so that she doesn't freak when we bump into each other at home.
TC usually plays roles where his character is a bad ass from day one, he strip a tank and put it together with his eyes closed and both arms tied behind his back yada yada yada
But in the role of Cage, he's like you and I, a guy who wants to run AWAY from the possibility of a painful death.
There were scenes in Edge of Tomorrow where I laughed so much my wife had to actually shush me.
Loved the plot, the humor, the execution, the originality - finally, a movie worthy of a ten star rating ! I want this on Blu Ray the minute it becomes available.
Thanks Tom, Emily and Doug and to anyone who had a hand in this absolute gem of a movie !!
