Cast: Tom Cruise, Paul Dano, Cameron Diaz
Director: James Mangold
Reviewer: Rama Gaind
Returning to star together after ‘Vanilla Sky’, Cruise and Diaz carry off the film in style with their captivating liveliness. This movie takes you back to the good old days of action films without the special effects gloss.
Cruise plays an inscrutable government agent caught with an ‘innocent’ victim in Diaz as they dodge assassins chasing an energy force and its potential to change the ace of the world.
Director James Mangold shows practical sense in using physical stunts and action sequences which see the film dashing from one exotic location to another.
This is one ride that the two lead actors carry off with finesse, ably assisted by support cast including Viola Davis and Peter Sarsgaard.
This is value entertainment.
