Staring Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise.
This is a "spy" film. It sort of has the "feel" for the Borne films, but it is not nearly as serious.
A top-tier spy, running all over the world, with a dame in his clutches, fighting off the bad-guys with almost super-human abilities and skills...sounds very much like Borne Identity, eh?
But, that's where the similarities end. Tom Cruise does alright in his role as the "spy" and Cameron Diaz plays the same character she always plays: a ditsy blond that's almost oblivious.
Sometimes, Tom Cruise executes these absurd lines/actions that are so sappy that I am quite sure that that is what diabetes tastes like.
Story is alright. The movie, superficially, keeps you guessing as to 'who' is telling the truth, but, come on, the end result can be seen coming from a mile away.
It has an absurd resolution/ending and this may turn people off the to the film.
I am going to have to say that the fight scenes in the Bourne films are definitely better, but this movie still does really well in that department...for a non-Hong Kong Kung Fu film.
Overall, I give it a 6 out of 10. It could have been better in so many ways, but it still wasn't that bad. I'd say that this is definitely a renter.
Spoiler! (not really): the film does that stupid exploding car because it's gas tank was shot, trick. I face-palmed.
Edit - Why am I comparing it to the Bourne films? Because they are great movies that are similar to this film...at least for me.
