This movie is Crazy

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2005)

I have to admit Tom Cruise was not quite as good in this movie as he normally is, but Dakota Fanning was an amazing actress and quite frankly did a better job than Cruise. If you go for nothing else, go to see her. The movie itself was lacking in some dialog areas and there were more than a few holes in the plot sequence, but the action was amazing, Steven Spielberg did a stunning job coordinating the action sequences. The movie contains elements of the cheesy movies from the 60s but it makes them seem more real with the higher budget! Sure, the entire time you're thinking, yeah right, but at the same time, there's an eerie element of realness to the whole thing. On the whole, I don't know if I would buy the DVD when it comes out, but it's worth the price of a movie ticket. It was pretty good. Though I have to agree with others, the ending was pretty lame.
