The wife and I saw it with another couple. We all enjoyed it, lots of twists and turns, a few surprises. Only a minimal number of dumb things done to further the plot.

Tom Cruise, perfectly cast as an arrogant, good looking, and a tad crazy lead in a neo Bond type role. Diaz's acting in top order and looked great in that bikini.

Good writing, some snappy dialog, about the best there is when the budget climbs above 50 mills.

Special effects? Thank God! I still remember all too well the crappy effects of movies from the sixties and earlier. I'll take a bull that doesn't quite move right or an explosion that seems too sharp over the trash effects of several decades ago.


We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
