Dreck

Rating: 5/10 (28 April 2013)

This movie is a now-familiar exercise in Tom Cruise's narcissism. Every female in the movie, even an elderly woman, flirts with Cruise's character. His role is that of a cliché'd, "man with no name" hero who breaks all the rules.
I suppose this movie will suffice as a time killer. It's really just the same old, "resolved-in-two hours", recycled plot which we are all very familiar with by now, if not completely tired of. The pretty girl is kidnapped and Cruise has to rescue her. He magically avoids bullets.
Tom Cruise has no range as an actor. He plays the same stern character in every film. His schtick is getting old.
There's a hilarious scene where Rosamund Pike flashes her cleavage directly at us. I really wonder if they spliced that in to wake up the audience.
