One of the best films of 2014 so far...

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2014)

I was on a downward trend with Tom Cruise so my real reason was to watch Emily Blunt. An English Rose :)
The film doesn't hang about and gets straight into the story. Aliens and invasion etc...the normal thing. But the characters are enough to make you look through the cliché. But what really wins here is the subtle humour. The play with the Groundhog Day storyline and Emily's character. It just works.
Okay so the story keeps resetting and they have to do things again. But the way it is told does make it interesting. It shouldn't be...but it is.
I enjoyed the story flow and liked the characters. The action was fast and chaotic but it worked. I was left curious as to how they were going to resolve this. However, I kept having a niggle that I kinda knew how it might end. The reason I haven't given this a 10 is because it kinda fell flat for me as it got nearer the end. The trip to that Capital city was a little anti-climatic and rushed just to end the film. Or thats how it felt. Then the ending was a little unimaginative.
But I wasn't left disappointed or annoyed. The film was good. One of the best I have seen this year...but it could have been better...near the end.
I would certainly recommend this. Its an action film with some feeling and some good humour. It is a good film. Hope you enjoy :)
