Too slow, too long.

Rating: 6/10 (2 May 2019)

I'll try to keep this short...unlike the film...and some of the reviews on here! Much as I get the message, it is far to slow and long. Could have been done in 90 minutes. Interesting concept and I think Cruise puts in a good performance, but Kidman completely overacts throughout to join the list of others that do the same or simply act poorly. The piano music becomes really annoying at points...enough that we had to turn the TV volume down. Many of the reviews on here proclaim the great directing performance and visual drama, but it struck me as ordinary on that front...there are much more stylish films out there and many that are more thought-provoking. I won't say do not watch it. Just make sure you do so when you have 2 hours 40 to waste.
