Not just one more sci-fi movie

Rating: 6/10 (23 July 2002)

This isn't the time to be impressed by "special effects". Everything of that kind can of course nowadays be done in a computer. The spiders here are funny and so is the traffic running down the walls, but what was to be expected?
However, the story is rather clever. Of course Tom Cruise survives, but his way towards that is quite complicated. The best actor by far is Samantha Morton, who has a great talent and much more "aura" then Cruise. In the scenes they have together you watch her, not him.
Unfortunately as a Swede one is rather ashamed of Max von Sydow, not working very hard. He has come a long way since Ingmar Bergman, but hopefully is making a lot more money know. Peter Stormare is a parody on many things and mostly on himself. He speaks some Swedish too and out of concern of sensitive people, I shall not translate what he says.
