Like so many other films....Nothing special

Rating: 4/10 (14 November 2002)

I think this movie had the potential of being good, but didn't succeed at it - at least not for me. When Tom Cruise visited the house with all the people it started getting good, but then it went downhill again (instead of uphill). We was never told what was so dangerous about that house party, we never was told who the people were and we was never told what was the deal with Nicole Kidman and her involvement in all this. Of course there may be something for us to figure out for ourselves in movies, but this had to many loose ends in my opinion, to make it to hard to figure it out and just made it a movie where you just said "Nah, I couldn't really say if it was good or bad, as it had too many loose ends". It's not like it was completely crazy and weird like "Lost highway" for instance, but it just a bit boring and instead of building up to big climax it kind of faded out a whole hour! It also lasted almost 3 hours, so it was too long to use on a film like this in my opinion. I don't mind long films if they're good, but this was as I said just a film where I said "Nothing special", which for me basically is a waste of time.
