Okay, yeah, the basic premise I get, and it's a good one. Worth remembering this is written by (with Jez Butterworth) Christopher McQuarrie, who created one of the all time favorite identity twist yarns, 'The Usual Suspects'. The same kind of vibe here, not to put too fine a point on it.
With effortless technical polish from Doug Liman and cinematographer Dion Beebe (Collateral, Green Lantern).
Have to say, though I've never been a fan, Tom Cruise is watchable and more -- even compelling, having reached a certain age. Chemistry between him and Emily Blunt works. I think we're in Cruise phase 2.0.
So, despite (perhaps because of) not being able to nail down plot specifics too well (and glad for it considering how much trailers give away these days) I'm very much looking forward to this flick. Will buy on Blu-Ray, will watch every once in a while.
