Unexpected disturbing movie

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2002)

Well played, well directed, good scenario... all the ingredients for a good 21st century movie.
A really unexpected movie where dream and reality are mixed for the greatest pleasure of the audience. Not surprisingly the scenario is based on a non-American book which may explain why all the usual Hollywood clichés are absent from this movie. The plot is well thought and goes beyond the typical thriller story.
This movie is for people wanting more than just violence and guns. Be prepared for a bit of thinking and don't expect a "vegetables watch" type of movie.
The US poster doesn't give justice to the movie and tries to promote Tom Cruise. It is not a love story nor an action driven movie but a passionate quest for happiness in today's disturbing world. Tom Cruise is excellent all along the film.
If no-one told you about it yet, then don't waste another minute and "GO and WATCH it".
