I was bored at times watching this Tom Cruise action movie. Yes, this is the first Cruise action movie that was boring . Don’t get me wrong, there are some great action scenes and Cameron Diaz is very believable but the movie feels like a 70’s Roger Moore James Bond movie. Do you want to sit and watch Roger Moore as Bond again?
The story is about a woman (Diaz) who finds life tangled with that of a secret agent (Cruise) who allegedly has gone bonkers and needs to be stopped.
The chemistry between Cruise and Diaz is great but not enough to sustain a weak story.
Tony winner Viola Davis shows up as Cruises boss and gives the same exact performance she did in Law Abiding Citizen.
I had recently seen Ashton Kutchner’s movie Killers, both movies have similarities in the fact that they were both filmed in exotic locations. If I had to choose one to watch for a vacation guide it would be Killers.
Verdict: This is a B script with A list actors. If you see it you will not want to watch it again.
