I want something devised for intelligent adults, the last film to be so being Memento. The PG-13 thing he has going on may be fantastic for him and his handlers financially, but artistically they are extremely limited. The Prestige is the closest to breaking free of that burden.

Nolan and company really fucked this up. God only knows what would've happened to Barry Lyndon if he got his paws around it. Thankfully I have the original Blu-ray transfer to maintain a healthy head.

A decent attempt at an action film. Cruise remains a prostitute for one of the shadiest organisations of this earth, but I guess breaking his ankle and jumping out of planes is a successful technique of mass seduction and financial obedience.

A free ticket is a free ticket.

5/10.
