A succinct appraisal

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2003)

A beautifully crafted film which may leave some with a feeling of unresolve. This is due to the nature of the main character's experiences. Flitting from supposedly real events to the surreal it truly is a Lucid experience. The plot is hard to unravel at first but later starts to become apparent with a truly superb finale. Set in New York about a man who has everything, the looks, the wealth, the lifestyle...but is it all as it really appears? Watch and you can decide.
A great sound track to add to the impact of the whole experience opening with radioheads superb "Everything In Its Right Place" from Kid A, amongst many other gems.
Watch out for the opening scene which was actually shot in Time Square, no CGI here!
Definetly recommended but not for those who need the plot to be spelled out. Not for dumbheads!!
Sit back, relax and enjoy what is most definetly Tom Cruise's best work.
