I'll never listen to 'Good Vibrations' in the same way again !

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2006)

My first review so here goes...
If, like me, you look for something different in a movie, look no further. The gist here is that our hero, the rich and successful David Aames, is struggling to come to grips with a disfigurement caused in a terrible car accident by his stalking friend. We then are teased into wondering how much of David's reality is, well real, leading to a moment of realisation to the tune of said 'Good Vibrations'. Well, like I said, my first review, I can only go up from here but watching this film is like dawn on a calm summers day, freshness in the air and the sunrise on your face leaving you feeling inspired and glad to be alive. The cinematography is just stunning and the views of New York (including the famous empty Times Square shot) express the city like never before. Like him or Loath him, Cruise is great at conveying the feeling of confusion, that he is trapped in a surreal world that doesn't quite make sense. There's not much that could make this movie better for me, watch it and make your own mind up. Just make sure you watch it !
