Mystery psychological film that turns into a sci-fi – if you don’t believe me, watch it!
Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz and Jason Lee from “my name is Earl”. Gripping opening as Tom Cruise is a charismatic playboy who is dumb struck when Penelope Cruz comes into his life as his best friend’s date. She captivates all who watch her and is particularly lovely in this film, her bad English is also endearing in this film (not always a bonus in others). Cameron Diaz plays the psychological nightmare and events unfold that change his life forever. Tom Cruise hops from dream state to reality and it is left is up to you to sort out what’s real and what’s not so, in this respect it belongs to the psychological thriller/mystery genre. As the film progresses you are less likely to sort out the mess. Great background music tracks to enhance the film along with shots of Times Square and New York.
While the ending did not do the film justice, looking through that, the film is a enjoyable music and story. Ending could have been cleverer resulting in a 7.6 rating.
