One of Cruise's Best

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2014)

This movie managed to avoid the problems manifest in movies dealing with time. The plot is exceptional and the main characters deliver outstanding performances. The movie is not only dynamic but it is intelligent (unlike Oblivion where the creature is so easily duped). I dislike movies that appear to perpetuate the theme of "save the world" and they end up being more of the "save your girlfriend." This film didn't sacrifice the theme to honor some angst-driven patriarchal notion (it helps that Emily Blunt's character is a harcore badass). I highly recommend this film to anyone who likes well drawn action films where the characters actually make smart decisions.
