One of my all-time favs

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2019)

I'm a professional songwriter and film composer... and I try to watch this at least once a year. It never fails that I get at least one great song idea everytime I watch it. I love everything about it. The big questions it asks about life, love, and consequences... the moment in the apartment when Cruise and Cruz fall for each other. Kurt Russell as the father-figure/psychiatrist... and the music. The music supervisor on this is a genius. Radiohead, Todd Rundgren... perfect choices. The sheer lunacy of the "tech support!" scene. I love movies that ask big questions, and this one might ask the biggest of all. Tom Cruise's charisma practically bursts through the screen, and even though I know how it ends, the journey never gets old. Amazing movie, will never understand the hate. If you can open your mind to big ideas, you will like this film.
