missed opportunity

Rating: 4/10 (30 July 2005)

I am quite disappointed with this latest effort by Steven Spielberg. Tim Robbins has the best role in the movie although he is the only inconsistent character in the film. Why be so prepared and then go nuts? He is aware enough to be quiet while wrestling for the gun, but loses it when he hears a noise outside? C'mon. And yes, a typical Tom Cruise role, an average guy who does extrordinary things, or is it an extrordinary guy that does extrordinary things? I can't remember which anymore. The movie had zero plot line and only special effects, as I said, an opportunity missed. The "Days of Thunder" of alien movies. Everyone bombs, we just typically don't make so much money doing it. kudos.
