Oh no another lousy Dad who really loves his kids

Rating: 2/10 (1 August 2005)

I got tired of seeing the anguished look on Cruise's face. I got tired of the screaming kid, as cute as she was. The interaction with the son was lame. The only thing I liked about the film was Tim Robbins - he did a great job again playing the on the edge of sanity person with maybe some sexual perversions. It was refreshing to see that it was not the case of Joe Ordinary Guy saving the world, he was just out to accomplish something, a something which I never understood because the whole world was being attacked. I suppose there was an attempt at some serious "time to let go" stuff in there with the son. Special effects were not so special - see the crusade film with the primitive weapons being used at night to attack if you want to see special effects.
