wow...

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 1999)

Wow, this movie is incredible (and very underrated). Yes, it's true, the plot doesn't make much sense when you are watching it or even when you think back on it. BUT WHO THE HELL CARES!!! It's a brilliantly filmed, stylish, and original piece of work by a true master of cinema, Brian De Palma.
There are several sequences in this film that blow my mind. 1) the first job near the beginning...2) the ultra-stylish, eye-popping, breathtaking, nail-biting, brilliant computer room break-in sequence, with Tom Cruise hanging from a cable on the ceiling---woah..3) the scene in the restaurant with the fish tank (notice how the angles on the characters when they're talking get increasingly more crooked...) 4) and the mind-boggling finale on the bullet train, you won't believe your eyes.
Don't watch this movie and expect it to be realistic, because it isn't. It is totally over-the-top and implausible, but it's supposed to be. And that's what makes it fun. Just realize..IT IS A MOVIE...and enjoy it as a fun, amazing, stylish, brilliant thrill ride.
