not the best movie but good enough!

Rating: 8/10 (30 November 2002)

Before and after i watched this movie i heard many negative opinions about this movie from friends and in tv and newspapers, canÂ´t figure out why. This wasn't one of the best movies i saw but, even so, was entertaining and worth the money i paid. Tom Cruise has a role cut out for him and he doesn't disapoint. Cruz is ok, i would like to see her in the original movie so i could compare, and Diaz (with a smaller part) plays the sexy, secretly in love/half-mad friend very well. I liked the "father-figure" Russel too. Although at times you can seem lost in the plot, at the end your questions are answered (or maybe not...) and everything makes sense. The music is very well placed and chosen (like in all Crowe's movies). Bottom line, not the best movie but good enough! 7,5 out of 10. (sorry about any errors in my english)
