I must say that this was a lot more enjoyable than I expected. I read the synopsis and did not have high hopes for a Grapes of Wrath style melodrama. While there is plenty of melodrama, there is a lot more entertainment here than I would've guessed. The Boston fight scenes in particular were fun to watch. Cruise and Kidman bring some bona fide star power and keep you interested against the beautiful landscapes.. The land rush was another terrific sequence that gave the old-fashioned epic its worthwhile climax.
