Conclusions
This, I know, is a classic film, and it was quite cheap to rent in the iTunes store, so we thought we’d give it a shot. One that Tom Cruise is particularly well known for, with catchphrases that I have used without actually knowing the reference for. It also fitted in with our returning enthusiasm for sports films, after the success of Draft Day.
This was not such a success. I didn’t get the editing, it was odd. Shot choices felt out of place and uncomfortable, and barely anything happened in the twenty minutes we were watching. He wrote something then he got on a plane. Hmm.
Rating: Unrated.
