I'm watching it now and even though you know how it ends, it's still pretty suspenseful. Cruise is decent though there really isn't that much acting required beyond looking determined and tense, lol.

5. I made a comment that got a laugh after watching it...
I watched it on pay per view last week, a couple others here went to bed saying they weren't interested in it that much. Next day they asked me how did you like the movie?

I said 'well, "I liked it, but even Tom Cruise couldn't kill Hitler."

8. Yes.
Anything with Tom Cruise in it sucks, just like any John Revolting movie.

10. And he talks the same way he does in all his other movies.
What's up with that? He should have at least attempted a German accent. :shrug:

13. Yeah, lol.
I admit I haven't seen it so the movie might very well be good. Really wish they had picked someone other than Cruise tho - he makes me ill. :hi:
