A more than pleasant surprise

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2002)

For me this was the most pleasant surprise in the theater of the year 2002. I know it's still early but this will be a film worth remembering. There are great scenes in the movie, it's a superb story (my compliments to the writer), Tom Cruise was surprisingly good and the actresses were not only beautiful but they were also acting great. Too bad that's not what I will remember a year from now. The one thing I will remember from this movie will be that it's another answer to the question of who we are and what's going on around us. It's an answer I would love and hate. The only reason Vanilla Sky isn't going to get a 10 out of 10 is because of the end. Not because of the questions it leaves but the dialogue between David Aames and the psychiatrist McCabe. That's a I want to say about the scene because else I would expose to much of the end. But 9 out of 10 isn't that bad, isn't it?
