Cruiser reaches and gets the prize

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2012)

Enjoyed this movie on a few levels. Fun movie, good escapist movie, Cruiser leaving the smile home (I'm so tired of it), the twists and surprises, the appearance of Robert Duval brought gasps from the packed house (priceless stuff, his scenes with Cruise brought back memories of Days of Thunder), Rossamund (nice rack, couldn't take my eyes off it)good acting in a difficult role, the comedic lines to give the suspense and tension a rest (brilliant). Now my minuses: Low-budget picture that owes its "8" rating by me due to the solid writing,directing, and acting, crappy car chase scene, and clichéd bad-guys. Billed as "A Tom Cruise Production" (is that why the budget is given as $50mil, did Tom get $25mil of that?)Oh yes, where did Tom get the haircut?
