This is one of the worst big budget films i have ever seen. after the equally turgid Eyes Wide Shut I would have hoped Tom Cruise would steer clear of nonesense such as this. If there is one thing guaranteed to annoy it is directors who work on the Emperors New Clothes approach i.e. make your film so obscure that the critics are scared to critisise it too much in case it does have a hidden message. Well the news is it has no message other than how on earth did this come from the same director as Almost Famous. If I could give it no stars I would do so without hesitation.
