Wait for the DVD

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2012)

This was actually a pretty fair performance by Tom Cruise, however the plot and screenplay played to Tom's strengths. Newcomer Jai Courtney is an excellent adversary for Tom's character, equally smart and creepy, his performance is excellent. The writing was fairly enjoyable, enough twists and turns to keep one interested, and the dialogue was well written (with a few ill-fitting remarks). The story-line progresses at a nice pace, with enough action and suspense to keep the average male on the edge of his seat. There were some nice comedic moments, especially with the addition of Robert Duvall. Overall it was an enjoyable film, although I don't think I would have spent $40-50 to go see it in the theater. This is one that I would recommend waiting for it to come out on DVD. Unless you are a huge Tom Cruise fan, then you will probably enjoy it more than most.
