Pointless

Rating: 3/10 (8 May 2006)

I wish I hadn't wasted my time! This was pretty much Alias starring Tom Cruise, with elements of Lost. It also included something I can't stand in movies, when many innocent, good, or bad-but-low-level people are killed in order to save one person. Stupid! A high point was that the newly-rescued female actually rose to the occasion and rescued her rescuer, instead of pulling a Buttercup-vs-the-ROUS pathetic copout. So that's why I give it a 3 instead of a 2! Will we ever see Tom Cruise play a character who actually dies? I hope it will happen in my lifetime. Also be warned in case you didn't know that Philip Seymour Hoffman plays the bad guy. He was one of the reasons I let myself be talked into seeing this but if I had known that he was the bad guy I might have saved myself a couple hours.
