Wow, wow, wow...Cruise proves something...

I was knocked out...floored...stunned throughout. Jamie Foxx is a hell of an actor, and Tom Cruise finally showed something other than charisma and ease in walking his way through a part. (Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Risky Business, Minority Report, and Mission Impossible and all, but he's gotten through on charisma more than chops as far as I'm concerned. Hell, A Few Good Men and Top Gun were fun, too.)

Michael Mann's a stud. Here he's outdone Heat - a fine film - by a mile. The use of digital here is a great choice, putting us closer to the two main characters so we empathise with them both.

Excellent film, one of the best in the past couple of years...
