Hats off to Downey jr, Tom Cruise's role of a lifetime.

Rating: 7/10 (17 August 2008)

It is not the best film but not the worst either, once in a life time role for an actor like Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise did look and act more like Paul Giamatti than Tom Cruise.
Robert Downey jr. just 'entertains'. Definitely had to work hard for this role after Iron Man. Direction by Ben Stiller is not bad either, something quite different from his earlier movies and has the right mix of comedy and action. disappointed by Jack black's character, it had nothing special to offer. Definitely worth buying a DVD. The conversation between Downey and 'alpha chino' in a number of scenes is hilarious.
