Brilliant and Philosophical

Rating: 8/10 (8 December 2002)

This movie is awesome. A completely entertaining, thrilling and philosophical piece of film. I highly recommend this movie to everyone over the age of 18.
I don't want to give away much of the plot but the camera work is very good throughout. The story is superb and is explained fully by film's end. Far fetched, sure, but brilliant. A true work of art. The only negatives to me were the first 20-25 minutes of the film. Tom Cruise is awfully cheesy during the first part of the movie. Smiling all over the place for no particular reason. But, once he finds a woman with whom he wishes to begin a true relationship, the movie really takes off and only gets better and better. Good performances all around.
Cameron Crowe did a fantastic job with this movie and anyone who wishes to be taken on a brilliantly confusing but fun ride should see it. My rating, 8 out of 10.
