Edge of Tomorrow (2014) Review

When was the last time Tom Cruise made a good film before this? In 2013, he struck out in a confusing sci-fi mystery oblivion, and he didn't meet much success in 2012 in a supporting role in the musical-comedy Rock of Ages or in the crime-thriller adaptation Jack Reacher. 2011 was his first hint that he isn't fading as he's aging with Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol. It was easily the best Mission: Impossible, and Tom Cruise couldn't have been more perfect in it. But, after three failures right off that success, maybe he was fading. But, despite bad trailers and doubtful thought, he had another comeback in 2014 with edge of tomorrow. Edge of Tomorrow was the summer shocker, but unlike Ghost Protocol, nearly everyone liked it. It blended action, sci-fi, mystery, and even some comedy into a smart, unique, entertaining masterpiece. It is easily director Doug Liman's best and Cruise will probably get into a roll with great movies, especially with Mission: Impossible V coming out in a few months.
Movie Rating: A
