Great line in this movie: Please don’t interrupt me when I’m asking a rhetorical question.
Also Amanda greatly enjoyed the use of “embolden.”
Now on to the show: Yes, Tom Cruise is a freakshow. But if you can just forget about that for the two hours you’re in the theater, this is just as fun as your average summer action flick and not much of a letdown unless you were dumb enough to go into the theater expecting “high art”.
The scenes in China really reminded me of Tomb Raider 2 (which is a good thing in my book, but probably not in yours).
Not a great flick. No WOWza moments. But for a summer action movie with some ass kicking fights, and some chase scenes, and some things blowing up, and some twists & turns = it was just fine.
The girl playing Cruise’s fiancee, Michelle Monaghan I think?, looks eerily like Katie Holmes in a couple scenes. Spooky, man. Billy Crudup and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers are showing up all kinds of places you wouldn’t expect them these days, aren’t they.
