Action Movie, with just the right amount of action

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2014)

This is one of those beautiful action + investigative thrillers that strikes the golden ration of the right amount and action and drama. There is not stereotypical Hero-Heroine relationship. Limited characters, excellent screenplay. Impressive cinematography. The story takes the right amount of twists, not too much, not too little. I was prepared for more than necessary action in a tom cruise movie, but boy I was mistaken, this one was well made. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Tom cruise shows off a bit more heroism than is required, but I don't care. I loved it. I love it when Netflix does cast a few good and recent movies now and then.
