Title: Disappointing
Review: This movie looked like it would be one of the good ones this summer: with Tom Cruise and Mark Ruffalo I expected something fun to watch. This was neither intelligent (the character development was lengthy *and* flimsy, making the talking-head scenes boring) nor exciting (with the exception of a few sequences near the end). Most of the plot didn't make sense, the writing was generally dull with only a few good moments, and the contortions that Tom Cruise pulled his face into in attempts to look evil were actually laughable. More ambitious than a regular action film, but not more intelligent, so the mediocrity just becomes more noticeable.
