disappointing collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2007)

considering this movie is directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Tom Cruise,it should be a great movie.but it's not.it's based on a short story by Philip K.Dick.this isn't a horrible movie,but it's just not really good either.i liked the futuristic concept,but the execution of it just doesn't deem to quite work.i found it boring and too long,and not very compelling.Spielberg is a gifted director,and tom Cruise has proved to have a great screen presence,if not great acting ability.but everyone is entitled to a few missteps in their career.this movie is certainly the exception for Spielberg and Cruise seems lacking his usual presence.when it's all said and done,it adds up to a blah experience.i guess it's a bit better than average,so i'' give it a 6/10
