Tom Cruise as...Well Tom Cruise!

Rating: Null/10 (13 June 2000)

This movie seemed to last forever. I can't understand how anyone with at least the intelligence of a gnat could find anything worthwhile in this "film". First of all the direction was so unimaginative that my grandmother could have done a better job and she's been dead for over 20 years. It's a telling sign that a director has no real skill at movie making when he has to resort to using slow motion every 10 minutes. The dialog was so mind numbing that after a while my friend and I had to start making fun of the film just to entertain ourselves. The acting was absolutely horrible and amateurish. Tom Cruise seemed as though he was just going through the motions. I know this guy can act, he did a slendid job in Magnolia and Born On The Fourth Of July, but more often than not he simply sucks. I realize sometimes action flicks are not long on dialog or plot but usually they have some good action and at least dialog that's at a second grade level, this film had neither. I wouldn't even recommend renting this when it comes out.
