Good Points

Lots of action/suspense. Great take on a classic Welles work.

Bad Points

Tom Cruise

General Comments

Tom Cruise actually does a great job in this movie and convincingly portrays a divorced single father of two. I was quite surprised at exactly how good this movie was when I saw it first. Almost everyone over the age of 18 knows or has heard of this famous Welles book/radio adaptation. Speilberg puts a refreshingly modern view on this 60-year-old script. Well worth viewing!
