Good mix of 'Bladerunner' and '1984'...

....Where Big Brother is Watching You-and knows what You are doing ahead of time......Very interesting premise, carried out by Cruise, Speilberg and co quite nicely. There were some story arcs which were right outta LA Confidential-esp a certain shooting-but nonetheless, it all works.
The only real trouble I had was that it went on maybe 25 minutes or so too long. You expect a finale at point X and then when it doesn't come, and you get a Cruise Narrative sequence to boot-it does bring to mind Speilberg's recent Filmaking as Taffy routine. Stretching it out beyond it's natural barriers.
But that's just a minor quibble on my part. I liked the design, the whole 'bleached out grey cinematography' right outta 'Private Ryan' and 'Lord of the Rings', quite good.
It's also great to see 'Leb' from Armageddon too.
*** outta ****. Good show.
