Tom Cruise may have a strange personal life, but I don't know him personally so I try not to be partial when watching his films. It can be hard, but to be honest I can't think of a film he has done lately that I didn't film at least somewhat good. Collateral, War of the Worlds, Tropic Thunder.. all pretty good. So Valkyrie and Lions for Lambs weren't great but it is still a pretty good record lately. Cameron Diaz on the other hand has had some pretty bad performances lately. Bad enough that when it is not just animation voice work I'm very hesitant to give it a shot.
So the film is an Action/Comedy. Cruise plays a secret agent that Diaz gets tangled up with. Much like the movie Killers but with better acting, supporting cast, and plot line [notice I didn't call this a Romantic Comedy].
The action scenes are over the top, but the director almost acknowledges this, plays with it, and makes it fun. Instead of a serious action, we understand this is completely unrealistic and that is ok. Do you question plausibility in a Will Ferrell movie? Probably not. Do you question plausibility in a Nicolas Cage? I do. That is why this movie was different.
Get out the popcorn and enjoy!
