A complete waste of time

Rating: 3/10 (17 December 2004)

I sat through this long, slow moving movie about a year ago and when it finally ended I couldn't believe that was it and I'd just sat there for nearly 3 hours watching such rubbish. It builds up suspense then at the end just forgets all about it and thats it! It starts off reasonably well, and has very good acting from Cruise and Kidman in the 2 leads, but the story itself doesn't make sense at all. All the movie is really is Tom Cruise wondering around New York having heard his wife had an affair, to meet a grieving woman, a prostitute, an old friend, a costume shop owner, and finally onto an erotic party. He also spends about $1000 in the space of 2 days and doesn't care that much! This whole evening takes up about an hour and a half of the movie and is incredibly slow-moving and annoying as the lines are slow and it moves at a snails pace the entire time. Then its the next day and everything is really weird and by the end of it you're thinking what the hell? There are that many plot-holes and their is no point in the movie at all!
In the end this movie left me confused, bored and annoyed. So I advise you to skip this and watch a good move like The Green Mile or Seven.
This is a complete waste of time and I give it 3/10 only for Cruise and Kidman's acting which was good I must say
