Follow the white rabbits foot

Rating: 6/10 (7 May 2006)

Given the amount of time and money given to make Lost, its no longer such a stretch for a TV director to make a multi million dollar film.
Once the lightweight plot framework is in place, the film takes off. By the first twenty minutes, the film had already eclipsed its prequels. The action scenes make sense, the pace is unrelenting and its all very noisy. Hoffman is, of course, vile and Simon Pegg is, of course, geeky. In fact the action scenes carry real menace and not a little brutality.
Cruise is his normal gnomic self. While anyone could carry out the hero role, Cruise does not offend. Like the Rabbits foot he is silly prop that you need to keep the film rolling. Roll on number 4.
