Suck a well done movie. Tom Cruise was really good in it and Jamie Foxx was really believable and the acting was overall superb. The characters grew,unlike in many movies this year,the music and sounds played a huge role in the movie,there wasn't a scene where music didn't get to you and help raise the tension. I was basically on the edge of my seat from 30 minutes in. All the gunshots were somehow simplified,yet so powerful,you could really feel the pain.

A must-see. One of the best movies of the year.

I didn't like it that much. OK on first sight but not that good that I would want to see it again soon. I'd say something like 7 out of 10.

I loved this movie and saw it twice in theatres. Any idea when it will be coming out to vhs/dvd?

The camera work was fantastic.. I assume it was filmed with miniDV or digital equipment anyway,it had a grainy,washed-out look like many movies nowadays,but the plot and lot of the storyline taken forward with simple dialog in the cab was terrific. This is one of those movies that you think you know how it will turn out when you see the trailer,then you end up completely wrong about it. Fucking great.

If anyone knows the song used in the Fever nightclub scene,the same as in the trailer,please let me know. It's a trance song with a REALLY heavy beat on some spots,but it has some parts when some chick is shouting something in chinese/taiwanese/etc..
