My only question to which the film can answer is: Is Cruise a Spy for Good or Evil?

Besides that...I'm in for this flick.

The movie looks okay, I could take it or leave it. I am disappointed that Cruise is still going for this kind of safe, formula film... I was hoping he'd leave that for his Mission Impossible movies and choose different, riskier pics (like Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, Valkyrie). Summer 2011 is M:I4, so nothing really interesting from Tom for a couple yrs at least... If he wants that oscar this isn't gonna get it done.

This looks fun to me, although i'm someone that enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Smith and the humor and action in this seems similar.

I'm wondering if the PR backlash that's still kind of hovering around him helped push him into a safer role.

I guess he still wants that likable guy image. But with his box office reign having declined over the yrs, I just figure why not go for other kinds of films right now. As good as he looks he's getting too old for parts like this... and you got guys like Dicaprio and Damon really pushing themselves with stellar film after film, but I guess Cruise is content to just coast to the finish line.

Cameron Diaz is not aging well at all. What's wrong with her face?

For some reason this movie makes me think of Ecks Vs Sever.....

Probably the horrible title.

Too bad a movie from the director of Cop Land and 3:10 to Yuma looks so safe and not that great.

Also, the title sounds like some mid-to-late 80's cop show that lasted a full season tops. Starring Michael Nouri as Knight and Valerie Bertinelli as Day.

I like Cruise and I think he picks great roles for himself. To compare him to DiCaprio and Damon is a little unfair because I think they have more range and are able to have more versatile roles.

Cruise is a different kind of actor, I think. More an old fashioned movie star in the vein of Cary Grant, than one in the vein of Brando like DiCaprio, IMO. Cruise has gone outside his box with Born on the Fourth..., Collateral, and even Tropic Thunder. Still, I always knew it was Cruise, as opposed to the others who often seem to disappear into their characters. I don't think one is better than the other, just different.

And I think this movie looks fun.

Granted, I don't HATE Cruise. He has some GREAT performances:

Taps
Risky Business
Born on the Fourth of July
Interview with the Vampire
Magnolia
Collateral
Tropic Thunder


He can be wacky, but when the guy can act, he does quite well.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw this trailer.

Tom Cruise has always been one of my favorite actors, and yes, he has some crazy, but he has toned that down alot, has a great looking family, and picking some good roles lately.

I don't know what to think of this movie. It looks stupid, but funny. Pointless, but lot of action. I don't know, maybe I'll see it when it come out on DVD/Blu Ray, but not in theaters.

Well, she does have a serious acne issue.

This looks like a whole lot of fun. Salt, not so much (despite a great cast).

Continues to look like a good popcorn movie.

Eh, I think I prefer Salt. Less humor, but the action looks a bit less CGIish.

I saw this at a test screening last night. We were the first audience to see it, so much of the FX work was unfinished, might've had a temp score, too. Signed the typical NDAs, so I'm not supposed to talk about it...
