Great beginning, solid acting, anti-climatic ending, Worth seeing

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2006)

Spielber did an good job on this film considering his other work. But the first 30 minutes of this film are some of the best suspense, perhaps best scenes I have ever seen on the big screen. Many people dislike the film due to various things they consider unbelievable or over-the-top. Some have commented on the what they considered the stupid subplot involving a bad father-children relationship.
I found the relationship between Cruise and his children to be sincere and well played out. The fool that posted the comment that somehow a couple hundred of people found useful to be ridiculous. If he had read the book, he wouldn't have said the things he did. Spielberg did an good job of following the novel. As usual Dakota Fanning put in another excellent performance as well as a small role by Tim Robbins.
The ending is the only part I have a problem with. It ends quite anti-climatically and all of a sudden. But I highly suggest everyone seeing this movie, it will entertain at the least I'm sure.
