show da moola

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 2001)

It's a good flick, bit of a soap at times, I liked the fact that someone starring for the Arizona Cardinals(!!) is at the center of the flick. That was like using the Expos in Baseball-hey why not?!
Cruise is good. He plays his basic tortured Type-A persona Yuppie again, to a T of course. He's engaging.
I liked Rene Z though she Does look an awful lot like Jewel-her character is fragile and always afraid of being hurt. It seemed rather odd that they got married so quick, then just as fast looked like they were backpedalling outta it. One gets the idea that it was an ankle deep type marriage and that the 'happy ending' may very well be a transitory one indeed.
Guys like O'Connell, Mohr and Beau Bridges turn in some fine cameo-ish appearences. I liked the cynical view of sports and agents in general.

Cruise had a winner here and it gets better with repeated viewings.
*** outta ****, pretty fine work.
