Rubbish

Rating: 1/10 (29 April 2006)

I've seen the awe inspiring 2001 and the hard hitting Full metal jacket, I find it hard to believe that Kubrick directed this nonsense, Cruise is a movie star but doesn't have the acting credentials to pull of this movie whereas Kidman is just eye candy, the movie just seem to meander on, none of the lead elicit any sympathy while the strange sexual cabal that Cruise finds himself involved in comes across as contrived. As are the supposed moments of ethos, especially when he confronts Amanda Curren's corpse.
Overall an unpleasant movie despite the presence of eye candy, a massive disappointing finale to Kubrick's glittering career.
