really good movie, one of cruise's best
really good movie, one of cruise's best
Totally agree. He's hit or miss with me. He was perfect in this. As was the the chick. Forget her name. I was actually disappointed when he lost the power. Was enjoying the replays. But solid ending anyway.
emily blunt. she's great, liked her in Looper a lot too
and for an action movie guy, cruised has aged really well. ghost protocol and rogue nation were pretty ing great. i was also a pretty big fan of jack reacher
Yeah...I like her. I still haven't seen that for some reason. Forgot about it tbh.
Tom is probably my second favorite actor besides Leonardo Dicaprio.
He doesn't necesarily make great movies but he does make entertaining ones.
You're right. I just scrolled through IMDB to back up my "hit or miss" comment and other than Rock of Ages, I didn't find a movie that I didn't enjoy.
Cruise produces most of his own work and he's well known for his work ethic, so it's rare he's associated with unmotivated .
Edge of Tomorrow was really good, saw it in theaters and was surprised it didn't get more love. They should've just called it Live.Die.Repeat though imo.
Damn, now you guys are making me wanna watch it again.
Might as well. Ain't got to do.
That or The Gladiator. lol
SPOILER
like i said, i really loved this movie, probably give it a solid 8.5 or 9 out of 10. super entertaining, great concept to take the groundhog day premise into a war/action plot. good acting.
but there were 2 things i never quite got over
1) why was the general such a in the opening scene?... i've watched this movie a few times and i've never understood why he was so adamant
2) like any movie involving time travel type stuff, some things just never add up. at the very end, why did he get reset to an earlier time (when he was asleep on the chopper) instead of any other time? also, at the end, they report that the louvre had been blown up (due to the events they did earlier in the movie)... but how did the Louvre blow up BEFORE that time when cruise was asleep on the chopper. in the original timeline, they blew up the louvre the day after that
1) I just assumed the general wanted cruise to be the face of the war effort in case it all went south and ended up being the massacre that it was.
2) He absorbed the original aliens blood, that was the reason for the bigger jump, but not sure how they write off the alien being dead.
Tom is good at picking his roles and his agent isn't a slouch either. I like the Jack Reacher series and hope there's another movie but I don't expect it.
agree with this except im not so sure about looper. don't remember it much. She was good in the adjustment bureau, also.
This movie rocked, Cruise nailed this movie.
Groundhog Day on steroids. 8.5/10
I like most of Tom's movies, but I didn't like this one. The story just didn't do it for me.
Jack Reacher is 6-5 250, how ya use Tom Cruise????
Own all the books but the new one.
cruise did just fine in the movie
So how many of Lee Childs Jack Reacher books have you read?
First off he's way too smAll and at no time did he ever show a love for them blues/music. Rememer KILLING FLOOR the first Reacher novel, what was he looking for?

You use Tom Cruise to gross $220 million.
none. i didnt need to in order to enjoy the flick
i'm definitely going to catch next year's sequel too
Just as I suspected, you have no idea who Jack Reacher is. Trust me, Tom Cruise is not Jack Reacher.
If ya knew about the books you'd get what I mean.
Sequel? None of the books had a sequel.
Reacher is a wandering x miliary cop who just roams around, all he owns is a tooth brush. When his clothes get dirty he walks into some thrift shop and buys new old ones. He's a big blues fan and one bad bad dude.
In the first Reacher novel KILLING FLOOR he's in Georgia looking for how Blind Blake died, a legit blues legend that just disappeared.
tom cruise was jack reacher
and there is a sequel coming out in 2016
