MY REVIEW:
What I really liked about this movie is that it did not assume that I was a mindless idiot watching a movie that I would never understand if they didn't spoon-feed the details to me. It's smart and entertaining. I really enjoyed this movie!

Tom Cruise played a very un-Tom-Cruise like character and does a really good job in the role. He's interesting and brings a certain life to the character that just makes sense. I liked the casting.

Emily Blunt is a good sidekick, but could never have held the whole movie alone, so that made sense. Her character was likable and interesting and seemed to be well-written and deep. Bill Paxton was I think a brilliant cast for the hard-assed sergeant.

I think the flow and plot of the movie are good, enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. Some of the twists seems to feel forced, but it all makes sense in the end.


It's enjoyable and entertaining, so I give it a strong 7.
