Good action movie but really hard to follow. This is my second time watching it and it was much clearer the second time but still a little hazy on a few areas. Much better to sit back and enjoy the 'Impossible'... Full review

That said, he's good at making interesting film choices, so maybe its got a better script than I realize.
That being said, good for him for leaning towards comedy, rather the falling back on Mission: Impossible 4 Posted by: American on August12,2008 at 12:25:46 What Greg said Posted by: Benjamin Bayer on August12,2008 at 12:37:28 I hear he's loosely attached to heterosexuality, also.

Yes, he's still a good actor as always, but the way celebrity works, the adoring public aren't so forgiving.
With his numerous public displays of psychosis and his current status as Scientology's own Easter Bunny (not quite as divine as Jesus, but pre-packaged pretty to delight people), not a lot of people can take Tom Cruise seriously anymore as an action hero or dramatic actor.

Abrams, whereas Tom Cruise was less than stunning as an action hero in his third go-round..... ... Full Review
