My brief review of the film

Rating: Null/10 (13 January 2005)

A perfectly photographed and superbly directed film about the state of modern marriages and how society is heading, in a world that is becoming increasingly morally decaying. The mystery element of the film provides it with a perfect atmosphere to set up the confused emotions of the main character, and gives the film an intriguing quality. The background music is excellent, and the cast is superb. The emotional state that Tom Cruise is able to bring to his character is totally believable, and film directors Sydney Pollack and Todd Field have interesting supporting roles. The film is nonetheless quite long for the subject matter at hand, but besides for this there is little wrong with the film. Some were repelled by the frequent nudity and sexual content of the film, however without such, this would not be the modern masterpiece it is. Certainly quite a high note for Kubrick to have ended his career on.
