When special effects run away with the script SPOILERS

Rating: Null/10 (10 September 2004)

You get a ridiculously heavy handed movie like this. SPOILERS HERE:
Tom Cruise is as blunt as ever as a cop in a dystopia world where criminals are caught, tried and dealt with before they even thought of the crime. It is only when he is on the receiving end that he finally sees the injustice of this system.
Plenty of chase scenes, pretty looking gadgets, computers and other things that simply try to blind us from one simple thing. The script is laughably weak. Aside from that I have never found Tom Cruise believable in anything. He is a ridiculous man, and he is just another tool that bad directors use to put out their big summer blockbusters.
If a director & producer are going to make a film using the "bells and whistles" ploy, the least they could do is add a LITTLE substance to the magic tricks they overuse.
NOT QUITE AS GOOD AS "TRANSYLVANIA 6-5000.
