An expensive coitus interruptus

Rating: 3/10 (8 September 2005)

That Hollywood can make pretty pictures is a given.
The Cruise flick is very much what it is supposed to be, visuals wise. And the cellar scene was suspenseful enough, while it lasted.
That said, Cruise is playing Cruise, and the only movie that he was bearable in recent times, was Magnolia, when he was basically parodying himself.
As for the WOTW, we all know that the germs will have their day, and despite some obvious plot holes here and there, the ending really does leave much to be desired.
That Cruise's in-laws can remain unscathed and that the family house intact despite the mayhem, is really a stretch. Maybe Spielberg is telling us that we should all move to Boston. I will probably need to get a green card then.
Can't remember when I last felt so cheated at the movies.
