Cruise, Fanning, and Speilburg at their best.

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2005)

I went to this movie expecting it to be horrible. It wasn't. At all. It was Cruise, Fanning, and Speilburg at their best.I definitely think Tom Cruise should get a nomination despite his recent public breakouts. This movie comes down to being a popcorn movie-- but a wonderful one at that. Will this movie change your life? No, absolutely not-- but it makes you hold your breath during the movie-- something that's very hard to do, and it makes you enjoy yourself by getting lost in suspense. But, that still cuts the movie short. I think the film is so good mainly because of it's on-the-nose casting. Cruises' portrayal of Ray___________ (I forgot his last name,) was one of his best acting jobs. This movie was Speilburg like you've never seen him before-- he was, in a way, unleashed. Ms. Dakota Fanning steals every scene she's in and is really an unbelievable little actress. I think all the actors/actresses made their characters relateable during this film, piticullarly Tom Cruise.
