A shadow of the original movie!

Rating: 6/10 (23 July 2002)

Personally I believe this movie is a ripoff relative to the original movie. The original was great, amazing and engaging. Additionally, the acting and music was much better than in Vanilla Sky (except for 2 Radiohead songs which embody the weirdness and disconnectedness of the movie). Tom Cruise en Penelope Cruz just aren't convincing in this movie. Also, after the Hollywoodization of the original we can witness more explicit explanations, more sentimental notions, more patriotic ideas and more cliches. The mystery of the movie has been minimized for the masses.
A shame.
