good back-story, and good acting
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
View MoreFun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
View MoreAlthough I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
View MoreGood action at a fast pace! Tom Cruise plays a James Bond spy type that meets Diaz in the airport and uses her to complete his mission and that's when the ride starts! A mission impossible/James bond/naked gun mashup that's good to watch on cable.
View MoreSimply awesome.. each scene and dialogues are different..
View MoreCome on people, how can anyone not have enjoyed this movie?! This film is like comfort food on a lazy Sunday. I'm pretty sure I had that same grinning smile throughout the entire movie that Tom Cruise had.His character was perfect, and I mean 100% perfect - including that permanent smiling grin. Cameron Diaz as the sweet little bimbo played that character to perfection. Those two together have great chemistry and should be cast together more often.The writing and directing was on point, and sure maybe sometimes a bit too much, but it's what made this film pure enjoyment.Editing and cinematography could have not been any better, and contrary to other reviews on here, I enjoyed the score.It's a well deserved 9/10 from me!
View MoreIn a world over-flowing with stories and the talent to bring them to life, why does Hollywood keep cranking out such unmitigated piles of cr@p? The crazy Scientologist does what he does best - shows his teeth. Diaz can't act to save her life, either, but unlike Cruise she's not pretty to look at so I have no idea how she keeps getting cast in movies. There is no wit, no tension, no plot. Just posing. Producers should have taken some of the salaries paid to Cruise and Diaz and hired a competent writer or two, because this story is a mess. In fact, it plays as though they were just filming random scenes that got spliced together in the editing room. Seriously, if you were to take the movie, chop it up scene by scene and put each scene in its own container, jumbled all the canisters on a giant drum, and then reassembled the scenes in random order, this movie would make as much sense. If I'd paid $10+ to watch this at the local Googleplex rather than catching it for free on AMC, I would take a leave of absence from work and spend the next year boycotting that theatre. I give the Scientologist's teeth 2 stars. Everything else gets zero.
