THe war of the wannabe's

Rating: 5/10 (22 July 2005)

What can I say but that Spielberg And Cruise Deserve each other. The film is a hidden commentary of an "Imperial power dominating the less powerful and that even a dead beat narcissistic dad (Cruise Character and from what I hear in real life..at least the narcissistic part) heeds the call and becomes hero and warrior. I thought the special effects were the best character in the movie.
Tim Robbins is awful in this and one wonders why he was cast. Dakota fanning screams a lot but she does well terrified.THe script goes south in different parts of this film. Meaning some things that seem to be pushed emotionally suffers from underdevelopment. Other wise if you like to see shoot um up action flick on crack you will like this one. I did ....its a nice movie with unbuttered popcorn.
