This is a very good movie - in case you've read the book

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2005)

It is very easy to dismiss this movie as an incomplete disaster movie, unless... Unless you'd read the original before you went into youк local movie theater.
This movie is a very rare case when a director and/or screenwriter(s), while making adjustments to the book, made no attempt to destroy the feel of the original.
The movie is dark, the movie is tense. We don't know what or when will happen. We only see from the perspective of Tom Cruise's character and it works extremely well.
Special effects are not only top notch - they are superb. They never leave the fabric of the film, they are never overdone or poorly executed. Suspension of disbelieve is always there.
The cast ranges from good to very good and they fit rather well in the movie (yes, even Tom Cruise).
For those who haven't read the book the movie will be a disappointment. It is, however, a very well crafted movie
