Not one of my fav movies, but Cruise makes it worthwhile

Rating: 6/10 (16 May 2003)

I heard good reviews of EWS so I downloaded the divx version of it. Since it was free and all I have no complaints. Some people had told me this movie had no plot, but I thought it had a deep and intricate plot!
There were many parts of the movie that were left unexplained, or they don't explicitly say what happened (don't you just hate that?)... so that's mostly why I didn't like it that much. But after reading other people's interpretations and discussions on the bbs, I got some insight on what the hell was going on. Also... the movie was long. 2 and 1/2 hours. and halfway through I was wondering when it would be over. To end on a more positive note, I like most Tom Cruise movies and he was great in this one as well. So his presence redeemed this movie somewhat and made the 2 and 1/2 hrs seem less of a drag. I definitely would not recommend renting or buying this movie to anyone UNLESS you're a Cruise or Kidman fan. If it was some other actor that I'm not a particularly big fan of, then I would definitely regret having wasted those 2.5 hours of my life.
