The older Tom Cruise gets, the more noticable the bags under his eyes, the more interesting he becomes as an actor. The minimalist, back-to-basics Jack Reacher was a step in the right direction, but this…I don’t know, man. It seems classy and smart and grade-A, but almost like a cousin of Oblivion, the last big, violent, futuristic, CG-driven epic Cruise starred in. This is a solid paycheck gig for Doug Liman, whose best films are still Go, Swingers and The Bourne Identity, in that order.
