Best Spielberg movie in years with Cruise's best performance! The best science fiction thriller since The Matrix!

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2002)

After seeing the Minority Report attached to Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones I knew I had to see this film. It combines the directoral expertise of the best director of all time, Steven Spielberg with super star talent of Tom Cruise. Now while I'm not the greatest fan of Cruise (His Mission Impossible films are quite silly at times) I do enjoy him in his dramatic roles such as The Firm and Magnolia, and I even liked his comedic role in Jerry Maguire. However, Eyes Wide Shut was terrible and don't even mention Vanilla Sky. Now, not only does Cruise star in an action film, but quite possibly the best film of his career. Spielberg gives audiences not only great special effects, but also great direction, a great screenplay and a cautionary tale of big brother government watching our every move.
The special effects are actually BETTER than those in Attack of the Clones, and the jetpack scene alone is worth the price itself. The only thing to be cautionary about is a weird eye operation scene (Obviously a nod to A Clockwork Orange) in the movie which will make some audience members squeam. Other than that, a TERRIFIC science fiction masterpiece and the best science fiction thriller since The Matrix kicked The Phantom Menace's butt back in 1999! By far the best film of 2002 so far!
After the BORING A.I. and the AWFUL Vanilla Sky Both Spielberg and Cruise are finally back on track! A 10 out of a 10!
