Maybe Tom Cruise's Best Performance

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2004)

Vanilla Sky is a very strange, difficult, somewhat confusing, and different type of movie. I applaud Tom Cruise for taking the role, and he comes up aces. Many will not like the film and apparently most did not. Anyone interested in the science/theory of Cryogenics will find this film fascinating. Throughout the film I kept asking myself is this real or just imagined? I was not sure if I was witnessing dream sequences, or if what I was watching was supposed to be what really occurred. For me it all became clear in the end, which I loved. If you want to see Tom Cruise in a role where he is not playing Tom Cruise like he is in all of his other films, give this one a try, but go into it with an open mind.
