• First Tom Cruise movie I actually liked.
  Okay, I'll fess up. I am *not* a Tom Cruise fan; not be a long shot. Every movie I've ever seen in which he stars, he acts pretty much the same; only the movie subject matter and dialog change.

The plot, which is excellent, is only half of the reason this film makes the list. The film resembles "Bladerunner," in more ways than having been based on a... more info
