Trailer looks good. Tom Cruise is one of my favorite actors and Jamie Fox is hilarious. Can't wait to see it!

It looks good. Hopefully, it will be.

Maybe Tom can pull off the bad guy thing.

Thought the movie was excellent! The pace of the movie, tranquility of the scenes after pulse pounding action sequences reminded me very much of Heat that Michael Mann also directed with Pacino,Dinero and Val Kilmer in 1995.Cruise & Foxx had very good chemistry on-screen.I thought the ending was a bit of a let down,didn't deliver like the ending in Heat but otherwise a very well done movie.I thought the dialogue was very crisp and great dimension was shown through these characters as any ordinary night might begin until...

I can't give it an excellent because of the ending. It was an overall good effort. I agree that Foxx and Cruise had pretty good chemistry. I've always been a MIchael Mann fan so I thought the direction was first rate. It's just too bad that the ending was telegraphed in the first 5 minutes of the movie.

thought it was a great movie, especially since it was in LA, and really explored the city to the fullest...

********spoiler alert!!*********

I liked the ending, though it did end a little abruptly.

Notice that on the subway door there were bullet indentations. 2 in the center, one up high. Vincent got killed because he was a professional. His professionalism made him shoot two to the chest and one to the head, but the bullets didn't penetrate.

Enjoyed the movie. He was also using what I keep with me at all times. Just moved out of LA a few weeks ago and that movie made me miss home. Being able to recognize almost all the places it was shot made me homesick.
