Truly surprised,in a good way

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2015)

I have been using IMDb for many years, but this is my first time writing a review. I'll go straight to the point, as I'm not very good with descriptive writing. The plot is absolutely terrific. I tend to get fidgety when watching movies, and start losing focus if I find it somewhat mundane, but this was not the case. I was engrossed from start to finish.
I read some other user reviews and there was a particular one that caught my eye, which I wish to paraphrase now. It has been an exceedingly long time since I have seen a movie with an unpredictable storyline. and yet the twists don't seem forced, the transitions effortless.
Cruise always seems to be at the top of his game, and I do believe we can't argue on the fact that probably no one would have been able to fit the role of Cage as well as he did. Also, this might sound cliché but one of the huge + points for a reason to watch this again, would be the intense and real chemistry between Rita and Cage. Emily did a great job as Rita, showcasing her versatility.Subtle facial expressions combined with raw emotion brought out the vulnerable side of Rita as she gradually opens up to cage.
I understand that judgement is purely subjective,and our opinions may differ,but I hope that this simple review of mine would allow someone out there to let go of his preconceived notions, and give this movie a shot( on blu ray of course)
As for me, I am now inspired to write more reviews on IMDb.
