Extremely underrated and incredible

Very few films have created such a terrifying, unnerving and realistic tone as this movie did. It captures the hysteria of the situation incredibly well and the outstanding performances of the cast only enhance this triumph. It has incredibly frightening, profound and unique imagery made better by the use of fantastic cinematography and colour correction. Both help heighten the sense of fear and confusion felt by the characters throughout, allowing us the audience to believe in what's happening. It is a truly great science fiction film and very unsettling. I have to credit Cruise on creating a character that truly makes you forget about Cruise as a star, it's so unheroic and not the kind of role we are used to seeing him in. It's also interesting to see how well liked the film is by the critics, despite a split opinion amoungst audiences. 8/10 for mealthough the ending is a bit rushed.

I have to agree. This is one of the greatest films of the 2000's, and it sort of went under the radar in a way. I think give it time. It's an interesting reflection on the minds of the public after 9/11, but aside from that it is probably one of the best, most realistic sci-fi movies ever made. And one of the scariest movies of all time! So disturbing/emotional in so many ways.

Troy I agree 100%. I'm watching it again today and it is a great movie. Watching the basement scene right now with Tim Robbins, absolutely love this part. Not very many movies that I'll watch numerous times but this is 1 I can re watch every few years. Tom Cruise is great no matter how weird he is.
