It was the best of movies, it was the worst of movies

Rating: Null/10 (1 May 2001)

When I heard this was Stanley Kubrick's last film, I was more than happy to watch, after all, the man is responsible for some great films (A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Dr. Strangelove to name a few). So I popped it in my DVD player and 2 hours and 38 minutes later I was left confused, intrigued, curious, and in general wondering what to make of this. I was skeptical of the Cruise Kidman combo but I thought they did a fine job. This movie brings up some important observations about marriage, and its trials and tribulations, leading Cruise through a bizarre train of events (to say the least). This movie is definitly not Kubrick's best, but not a totally bad film, worth a rent. 7/10
