Terrible acting, characters are absurd

Rating: 3/10 (18 July 2005)

Two words "Gar bage". It's as though each seen was shot a month apart with no reflection of the last. I found that even my 9 year old daughter was pleading out loud for the actors to recollect 5 minutes ago. Justin Chatwin may be the worst actor in Hollywood. If this kid ever gets another role the director should be ostracized. The whole relationship IE father/ son and father/daughter was so forced even Tom came out looking like a B movie actor. As for the daughter, well by no fault of her own the script wasn't sure if she was an old sole and could give advice to her father or a whiny little baby. Oh yeah, Crane operators at a ship yard make very good money, yet Cruise can't afford tivo or his sons school, come on! This movie was the biggest disappointment this summer. The only reason I gave it a 3/10 is because the special effects were decent, thats it.
