God awful

Rating: 1/10 (21 December 2011)

One of the worst movies I've seen in years. The hype for the opening of this film was extraordinary. One of the best ever! Cruise is back!! A must see!! I took the bait, hook, line and sinker.I went into this movie wanting to like it and hoping that Tom Cruise had truly made a comeback. I'm sorry to say the movie and he failed at every level. The script, acting, editing, casting - all bad. From the moment the fuse was lit in the opening sequence you could sense it was leading to a real bomb. Then seeing Cruise as a soviet general in cartoon quality disguise, pretty much cinched it -this was going to be painful. And it was. Just one ridiculous, incoherent situation after another. All set in exotic locations that added lots of big budget glitz but little else to the "film". So your mission,if you choose to accept it, is to disregard this my review and go see this movie. But just remember I warned you. Hopefully this review/warning will not self destruct in 5 seconds. You have plenty of time to pass it on.
