007 Wannabe ...

Rating: 6/10 (10 December 2016)

It is quite probable that my objectivity is not on the level as I do not like either De Palma or Cruise. In my opinion, this is typical Hollywood crap, Tom Cruise trying to live his boyhood dream of being new 007. Unsuccessfully... The plot is kind of mannered and all twists and turns are predictable so the story wasn't interesting to me and there is no trace of tension or surprise factor. Music pretty much irritating, directing does not stand out, and acting... I don't know, maybe it is aversion towards Cruise talking, but I am incapable to see any of his characters. In his every movie I always see just same old featureless vacuous Tom Cruise. He had few decent movies back in "Top Gun" time, but ever since... The only movie he did good (but still not great) job was "Interview With a Vampire". And the only De Palma's movie I really appreciate is "Carlito's Way". All in all, I wouldn't recommend this even to action fans, because even within the action genre it is not above average.
