There is very little that I don't like about this movie. I'm not a huge Tom Cruise fan, but I think he's great in this as the troubled American soldier. I love the captivating story that we follow of this man trying to find peace in his life. I love the journey we experience with him and I feel the emotions he feels as I watch his story on the screen. I love how in the scope of the greater story and action going on around Tom Cruise's character, we never lose the focus on him and the emotional state that he is in. Ken Watanabe makes for a perfect counter-part to Tom Cruise and their onscreen interaction and chemistry is great to watch. One thing that I do not like is the unimaginative and uninspiring cinematography. Not that I'm an expert on the subject, but for the most part, the cinematography was simply serviceable. It did what it was suposed to do in taking us along this cinematic journey. There were spots where it was inspiring and causes awe in the craftsmanship involved in creating the image we experience, but for the most part it just did an adequate job. But this lack, at least for me, is made up for in the overall experience and emotional journey I feel when watching this film.
