Tom Cruise's talent is wasted in this movie. Cruise is an action hero. He beats up bad guys. He doesn't run away from them. He looks danger straight in the face and confronts it head on. But in this movie, Cruise spends the most of the movie running and hiding from danger. He does fight back a little at the end, but when it's that late in the movie, you kind of don't really even care anymore. For most of the movie Cruise seems depressed and hopeless and this makes the movie too depressing and not much fun.
