an okay film

Rating: 6/10 (21 June 2002)

I like the idea and the story is alright. But it does contain the usual Spielberg cheese. I dont like bad attempts at humour in an otherwise seirous story/movie and you got heaps of it in this movie.
On the other hand you have a lot of cool scenes in the flick like the one with Peter Stormare (he delivers as as usual) as a nasty underground doctor. For Cruise this is a standard movie (the acting for sure isnt like what we saw in Magnolia) and he slides through it with ease along with Max von Sydow.
All in all .. the story, acting, effects are okay. The cheese levels are okay, as in acceptable for a Spielberg movie in my humble opinion.

An okay film, go see it.
