Review:
A very taut and suspenseful, character-driven thriller, that is far superior than I would have guessed. While it does have flaws, most notably, some pacing issues in the beginning and an at times over-bearing score (still quite effective though), Cruise and the rest deliver the goods as everyone is perfectly cast. Singer, whose baby (Superman Returns) was a huge misfire, is back in action and handles everything quite well. Engaging and exciting, despite some minor flaws.
