Better than expected but....

Rating: 6/10 (31 July 2013)

Many things in this movie do work, some really well. The basic idea the movie, the soundtrack, the somewhat serious but laid-back approach works really well.
The thing's dragging it down is, well, somewhat unfair to call him a thing maybe, is off course Tom Cruise. On occasion, Tom's been quite good, on occasion, you get the same 5 or 6 facial-expressions that he has been using for most of the films in his career.
Other minor objection is the somewhat typical deal with dropping all weapons and do the final fight hand to hand. It's not like one is all that surprised when that happens. But still, in many ways a enjoyable movie that's put together with a (really) good soundtrack and overall good production.
