Hollywood trying to be artistic..

Rating: 1/10 (2 May 2005)

Off the bat, the best part of this movie is when Cruise becomes a hideous freak, simply because it was so funny. I'm almost certain he graduated from the same wooden acting school as Keanu. Avoid this movie if you can, see the original. They ruined a good story, just like they ruined Wings of Desire (by Wim Wenders) by making that god-awful City of Angels movie. It takes more than a famous actor and a classic script to make a movie work.. it's called originality. Sure the setting is surreal, but they still follow the predictable Hollywood formula. Go watch something by David Lynch or Takashi Miike if you want something surreal that has a lot to say.
