It opens today....I want to see how Jamie Fox does with Tom-I'll be the Cocky Guy in all my movies-Cruise. I hope overall it's a decent movie.

I just saw this and really liked it. Suspenseful and fast moving. Jamie Fox was fantastic, as well as Tom (but that goes without saying).

I agree about Jamie Fox, after this role and his upcoming Ray Charles role I think he's going to be having a lot of offers! Overall the movie was good, but I prefered The Village. I heard there was Oscar buzz over it for Tom - I can't imagine why, he was good, as always, but no better than his other dramatic roles.

I saw the movie and it was better than I expected. But I did also hear that there was Oscar buzz for Cruise but i don't see why. It was good but not because of Cruise, the story was nicely done and it was paced well. Kitt, I also perfer the Village. But I did like this movie in spite of my loathing for Cruise.

Saw it today. It was good. Didn't know who Jamie Fox was before this, but he was terrific. Cruise was good too. There were parts in the middle that I thought dragged but overall it is a good enough movie.

I think the Oscar buzz for Tom could be attributed to his playing a "villain" in this movie--something he hasn't done very much (or ever?). I'm not a TC fan since he dumped Nicole, but DH wanted to see this movie. It was pretty good overall, if you like seeing lots of people get shot and killed. Pretty bloody and the ending was kind of anticlimactic, but it was fairly entertaining. Hubby liked it.

Saw this on DVD today and liked it very much. They should have wrapped things up at the end a little better, but Cruise and Foxx showed pretty good chemistry together. I'll probably make this a purchase and not just a rental.

I caught this over the weekend. While Jamie Foxx turned in a good performance, I wasn't overly impressed with Cruise in this. It seemed to me that he figured that because Denzel Washington won an oscar for doing an out of character bad-guy role ("Training Day") that he could pull the same stunt. Didn't work.

I thought Cruise did well with this role, not Oscar-Worthy, but very good. It was nice to see him in the anti-hero role. Foxx did well with his role, and combined with his role as Ray Charles, this should make him A-list material.

Just saw this movie (yes I know, I'm way behind the times - LOL). Anyhoo - I thought it was very good and thought Jamie Foxx did an outstanding job in the role. I didn't care for Tom in this kind of a role.
