Great a movie for an audience who understands subtle

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2008)

I just saw this last night at a pre-screening and it was fantastic. When I saw the recent trailer it made me think it was going to be another mindless action film but it really did surprise. Everybody performed very well and despite the cries of naysayers I felt that Tom Cruise did a very good job. Not to the level of actors like Bill Nighy and Terrence but he did perform well. The direction was great and the movie was beautifully shot. I especially liked a subtle homage to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Now this may not be a movie for everyone as it is more of a thinking man's film and less of a shootemup bang bang movie. If you don't mind using your brain during a trip to the movies I think you will enjoy this very much.
