I mean this film was pretty much universally panned by the critics, but seriously what's wrong with it? It's an action film, it's not supposed to be clever. And as an action film I'd say it's damn good - great stunts (asphalt surfing anyone?), a couple of good fights (Cruise's sommersault leg drop/axe kick looked awesome), a gorgeous female sidekick and lots of guns. Taken for what it is - a fun, all action showcase that you don't have to think about, I think it's pretty good. Opinions?
