Great idea but not enough tension!

Rating: 6/10 (13 July 2002)

This should have been a great film but something was missing. It was not "tight" enough and the tension that should have been building throughout kept disappearing. There were exciting bits but then the excitement disappeared and had to start again from scratch. The trailers showed most of the action pieces which was disappointing given all the hype about Cruise doing so many of his own stunts. Basically, it didn't thrill me and I was disappointed.
