Surprised

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2003)

Tom Cruise has never been a favorite actor of mine. In fact, the only other movie of his, that I have seen in its entirety, was Top Gun and I only stayed for the fight scenes at the end.
This movie, however, surprised me. It started out in the usual ugly American style and progressed to a better understanding of the oriental mindset. This was done through co-star Ken Watanabe as Katsumoto. His performance, in my opinion, lends credence to Cruises transformation.
I can't remember the last movie that I've seen, in a theater, more than once but, I'm seeing this one again with my son.
