Very Entertaining --Cruise & Crew talent at its best
4 October 2017
Very entertaining. This movie was made with every one of its fibers to entertain. -- instead of just focusing on action shots alone to carry it like so many other lousy action movies do, this one has all the other qualities a "real" movie has: Very well written, acted, camera work, the pace of it is perfect ---exciting through and through. Except for the jabs at my side of the political aisle--that was hard to see. Every administration (Dem or Rep) is guilty of so much behind-the-scenes poor decision making in our history. So I hope it doesn't turn anyone an opposite aisle. But this movie is truly a success because of it's main actor, Tom Cruise, What can I say?... At the same time I have no over-the-top stumbling over myself fondness to go see all his movies, those that I do go to it's so noticeable-- he just succeeds time after time in making fun to watch movies. His on screen presence (true talent) is tops in the industry. Every time you see Cruise in a movie it's not Oh there's Tom Cruise in this movie or that movie playing this/that person, but instead you lose yourself in the actual character he plays and you just sit back and enjoy the show. This is a sign of true talent, and Mr. Cruise has talent on screen and never fails. He is what a lifetime achievement award is made for --and will be handed to one day -- hopefully many, many years away. Hats off to him yet again, he works hard to entertain and he delivers every time. (although I haven't seen all of his movies -- those I don't care for the genre: i.e. mummies or vampires.. so I have no idea how he does in those.) Go see this movie! and leave your young kids at home.
