Excellent Cinematography and Soundtrack

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 1999)

This movie had excellent cinematography and soundtrack. The suspense factor was used well. However, Cruise and Kidman do not put forward their best performances. Although I may be slaughtered for saying so (trust me, I like most of Kubrick's stuff), the plot could have used some massaging. A few characters are not explored enough and left me with too many questions unanswered. All in all, a big-screen must see.
