What a disappointment!

Rating: 1/10 (8 January 2006)

Stay away from this turkey. Spielberg must have been brain dead when jumped on board this project and this could be a career killer for Tome Cruise. There are too many screams, a lengthy opening act to show how lousy a parent the Tom Cruise character can be, too many special effects gimmicks etc, etc.
The radio version 60+ years ago was far better. People were glued to their radios and the narrative was compelling enough to have some listeners believe it was a true event. By comparison this latest version fails to deliver even an ounce of believability or even a reason to care about the outcome. This really was an opportunity wasted.
