Great original idea.

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2002)

I just watch Vanilla Sky for the second time. I am so glad when a movie comes out which isn't the same old crap. Vanilla Sky was a great original idea which kept you guessing throughout the whole movie.
Tom Cruise (shunned from a Best Actor Nomination) does an excellent job in his role as a confused, depressed man on the verge of insanity. The direction is amazing with the constant flashes and repeating of lines previously heard throughout the movie. Halfway through the movie you feel like you haven't even watch anything because you are so confused yourself. In this way you are drawn into Tom Cruise's character.

Seeing it the second time you pick up on everything, which just makes the movie that much better.
9/10
I also recommend Memento and Fight Club.
