Appalling acting of Tom Cruise

Rating: 6/10 (18 November 2009)

I have to start this review with an honest confession. I think that Tom Cruise is an appalling actor, with laughable technique, minute personality and no talent whatsoever. There I said it. Then why see this movie? First I am an history buff, and secondly the marvelous cast of brilliant British actors, trying their best to support a man that earns 50 times more and can't act to save his life. The movie itself is a well done, above average caper. We all knew that Hitler wasn't assassinated, but the story kept our attention, and even managed to be somewhat suspenseful. Still, this is a sad example of a mediocre Hollywood star, one of many one trick ponies, looking pathetic in a company of great but under-respected peers.
