what a wonderful film

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2002)

I was skeptical when I saw this movie. I honestly didn't believe I would like it after hearing so many bad things about it. The writing/dialogue was incredible. Tom Cruise has never been better. He was able to show much more range in this movie than he has in a long time. We're able to see why everyone thinks so highly of him as an actor. Cruz's acting was ok at first, and got better as the film went on. Diaz was pretty good as well. I'm unsure of why people can't figure out the ending of this film. It is completely obvious...I mean, this is no Muholland Falls where you have to keep guessing. The answers are right in front of you. It's more than intelligent and fascinating, it's very spiritual as well.
