A great psychological movie.

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2012)

This was a thoroughly enjoying movie. I can understand how some people did not like this movie, probably the actors or that it is a real thinking movie with some twists that you have to pay attention to. This movie is a mix between a mystery, adventure and a romantic comedy and just a good all around story. The Tom Cruise character is a man that have everything anyone could ever want and more, he ends up loosing it and then gets a second chance with a catch. In the end facing all his demons and the full scope of all that is happening around him forces him to choose simplicity and reality. So that finally he can find the one thing he could never really get and thats happiness. As far as story lines go Tom basically inherits his dads company and has a 51% stake in the company. Since the board does not think he deserves the company he is constantly ad odds with them and himself living a meaningless life with a shallow Cameron Diaz. At his birthday party he meets Penelope Cruz who he instantly falls for. The morning after the part he ends up making a decision that will change his life forever and he soon finds out there is no going back. Tom Cruise does a fabulous job in this movie showing that he does have some range and seems that he has possibly been type-casted and should be given a more variety of roles after this. Penelope Cruz does a outstanding job playing the object of Toms affection. She brings a alluring innocence to the role that complements her character and makes her forthcoming and accessible, yet lacking any sense of mystery. Cameron Crowe knows how to get the best out of his actors and does a great job with Cruz. Cameron Diaz looks better then ever sizzles on screen. Make no mistake she delivers a complete package performance with her character. Her performance can be measured by having just a limited time on screen still leaves unforgettable performance. Half way through the movie really starts to question your sense of existence, but by the end all will be revealed. It is definitely wild, reality bending entertaining experience. That you will have to see to believe the unique experience this brings.
