Oh the wonders of Hollywood. They can make somebody a star and then - somehow keep them in that same place for years later.
No doubt that this was a script written to be a spoof on spy movies such as James Bond - it had to be. There's no other way to take this other than being a joke on them, however it's horrible.
There were movies where Tom Cruise is good - if not great. Most of the movies he does suck, but I'm sure his reps and promotions people knew how to turn his smile and perfect teeth into magic.
The problem is that this movie - even though it's a joke on itself is just boring and stupid.
The leads being Hollywood celebs make this even worse than if the leads were small unknowns and done with a smaller budget.
No doubt that the main money spent here was to increase Tom Cruise's paycheck and over-hyped career - but this waste of time movie should have never been made by a Hollywood A-lister.
There are far better movies on the action side of things - even done on a smaller budget. This is just a waste, but if Tom Cruise has his fingers in something, you know it gets made.
The more hyped and over the top action, well it gets pushed to the top of the heap in terms of producing.
