I've always been down on this movie because I remember watching it in theaters and not being a huge fan. I revisited it now because I'm trying to get the most out of this one week trial on Cinemax and I was pleasantly surprised to like it.....just a little bit more than I did initially. Cruise is my boy, and he's great....but it was hard for me to wrap around what a terrible hitman he is. I know we have to just accept it because hey it's a movie. I can usually do that...but I couldn't get past the fact tht if he's this superhero hitman, why wouldn't he switch cars once the cops clocked their broken window, why wouldn't he just shoot Max, etc etc. But if you can get past that, it's a good thriller. Also it's weird because there are two people in this movie (Foxx and Bardem) that would go on to date or marry two of Cruise's exes (Holmes and Cruz). Also, speaking of Bardem, dude is wayyyyy sexier as an older man today. Like, way sexier!
