Close your eyes...

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2002)

Since I loved Open Your Eyes and I dislike both Tom Cruise and Cameron Crowe I waited a long time between viewing the two films. It didn't help. This a sorry look at just what's wrong with American filmaking in general: lack of originality, lack of subtlety, no respect for the audience (though you can't completely blame them). "Open Your Eyes" was a tone poem, Vanilla Sky like the directions and information you get with a new prescription. Got to believe Alex sold them the rights to remake so Cruise would front the money for his next film (The Others). Under those circumstances you would expect the film to be a bomb...so much for karma.
Is there a way we could all chip in to keep these two from ever making another film again. I pity anyone who sees this version first...they have been robbed .
