I was so disappointed when I saw this film.
I am a fan of Cruise even if he isn't what you would call a character actor but his films have always had a certain quality and the action is good...if not really good. This film however has got to be one of his worst. As stated in numerous other reviews........this is so reminiscent of Moon but without the superb story and acting by Mr Rockwell. Plus the meeting of the two clones just didn't have much tension in it ...or maybe I was missing something. You'd think that those who are in the movie biz would be aware of films with similar plots etc.... The effects were very good but that wasn't enough to pad out a film that was slow paced and really rather dull to be honest. I wasn't sold on the relationship with his wife either, they didn't have any chemistry at all. Shame really as I though it was going to be so good as well. I have given it 5 out of 10 only for the effects and the Morgan freeman was in it. Otherwise I would have given it less.
