Saw the film because Tom was in it but ...........

Rating: Null/10 (23 January 2004)

I was really impressed with the story. I love Tom Cruise and have seen everything he's done so this was just another Tom Cruise movie, right? Wrong! What a wonderful story. You just feel everything in this movie. The acting was great from everyone. Although a lot was in Japanese (with subtitles of course) I think you could have figured out what they were saying just by watching their expressions. The chemistry is so fluid between these characters that you really feel this was how it was in this time. I went in there just to see Tom Cruise but came out with an appreciation of a wonderful story, that, I didn't expect. This is a MUST see film and I am keeping my fingers crossed that this year will be Tom's year to win an oscar.
