Like an unsatisfying orgasm - all of the buildup with little climax

Rating: 7/10 (3 July 2005)

I'm literally just back from seeing this at my local cinema. Personally, I thought it was a good bit of entertainment with lots of tension, impressive effects and nice action. Cruise is Cruise and Dakota pretty much does what you'd expect from a child prodigy. Some bits feel a bit slow though and there's a lack of character from the performers. I think Tim Robbins' character had the most personality amongst the others, although nobody really knows why he is the way he is...
As far the much talked about ending, it's a fair bit unsatisfying. As I say in my title, it's like an unsatisfying orgasm - all of the exciting buildup with little climax. Good entertainment though. Worth a watch.
