Not just "Groundhog Day with Guns"

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2018)

I just saw this movie. I don't understand why I hadn't heard more about it and how it got past me until now. This is a really fun, original, smart action film that could have been just another mindless CG bullet-fest. But I was really surprised at how smart it was without ever getting overly serious or morbid. It is a rare film that can blend so many different emotional elements and be stronger for it. There was humor, but nothing felt forced. It was just right. There was touching moments but never felt sappy or cliche. Such a refreshing surprise. I can't remember a "Tom Cruise movie" I've enjoyed more since Rain Man. Highly recommended.
