Why you should see this film - JR

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 1999)

This is Tom Cruise's best performance to date because you actually love the character. He has given McGuire such a warmth and pitiful soul that you can't help but root for him in everything he does and what he stands for. The script is phenomenal and takes you through the film without even considering the film itself...before you know it the film has finished and you are left breathless and emotional. The acting is also very good and Cuba Gooding Jnr is such a driving force and I believe this is one of the greatest acting collaborations ever seen. Over the top? See the film and find out for yourself. You will laugh, cry and consider your own view of the world and how you can change it for the better. One of the best films of the decade. The perfect summary of a world being taken in the wrong direction.
