Tom Cruise meets The Matrix and The Usual Suspects

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2001)

I did not know much about this film when I went to see it in a nearly empty megaplex. After three commercials and six trailers, I was ready for the two hour + roller coaster ride.
You can check out the other reviews for the plot line, for what its worth. For me Jason Lee, Penelope Cruz, and Kurt Russell were the greatest things in this film. Tom played the rich boy/elephant man part a bit over the top. Cameron was okay as the young Fatal Attraction Glenn Close. The soundtrack was awesome: any film that uses Todd Rundgren gets bonus points.
This movie makes me want to check out the original "Open Your Eyes" to see what made Tom buy the rights for the story.
Some folks have said that this is not a formulaic film. Take parts from "The Matrix", "The Usual Suspects", and "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank", and you pretty much have "Vanilla Sky"
