Thrilling Action Succeeds

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2015)

Edge of Tomorrow (2014) is a greatly made action sci-fi film starring Tom Cruise. The other valuable members on this team are Doug Liman, one of the most skilled action-movie directors in Hollywood, and co-star Emily Blunt, who lives up to her surname and is never less than an equal partner in this enterprise.
As noted by several, Edge of Tomorrow is based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka's militaristic science-fiction novel All You Need is Kill, which finds the armies of Earth being dismantled by Mimics, an invading alien force that in the movie looks like piranha/jellyfish hybrids made of steel and cranked up to 100 mph for attacks.
