No Climax, Bad Acting from Cruise - Dakota only shinning spot.

Rating: 1/10 (4 July 2005)

Honestly, I'm not sure what people are raving about this movie for. It was simply a huge let down with no climax and horrific acting from Cruise. It had lots of unnecessary propaganda (Pro Church of Sciencetology AND Pro G.W. Bush references) that was so obviously - it became quickly a groaner at times. The special effect were good, but not enough to carry the film. As is typical with so many films today - it felt like the set up for a sequel. The movie itself can not stand on it's own. Though, Dakota Fanning did an incredible acting job. Far more sophisticated then her years. Almost like watching a young Drew Barrymore - but even better. It's a rental - maybe not even that.
