Not Kubrick's best movie, but...

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2003)

This might not be like Shining, or Full Metal Jacket, but it's a different kind of movie and it's good, even if it's a bit confused. Tom Cruise's performance it's not that good. He smiles every time without any reason, and well it's not his best performance (see Interview with the vampire). Nicole Kidman's performance is amazing, as she always does. I think she's the best actress I've ever seen. She should give some acting lessons to his ex husband Cruise... just kidding. The movie, as I said, is a bit confused. I'm a big fan of Schnitzler's books, and the book is better than the movie, I think.
But, try seeing it. I give it a 7-7,5/10.
