Interesting/bizarre

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 1999)

Very often I differ from other film critics and I especially do this time. It has been said that Cruise did a horrible job and i disagree. I actually thought he did one of his best jobs. Kidman I thought was alright. Of course she was barely in the movie. I think there were parts of the movie that could have been a little closer to the heart but I do think I was pulled into the plot. Lastly I had a major problem with the horrid editing. It took a lot away from the film. Placing objects in front of scenes and cutting out an ENTIRE scene I think made it not what it was supposed to be. If you want to catch the real thing I think the editors cut on video may be a better idea.
