Edge of Tomorrow

The trailers to this made it seem like a sequel to Oblivion, and a rehash of a thousand other sci-fi parables. But as skeptical as I initially was, Cruise & Liman delivered a taut, entertaining thriller that doesn’t suck. Performances are strong, the script is interesting, the pace is speedy, and it’s more or less satisfying. It won’t be chosen to be in the Library of Congress National Film Registry any time soon, but you won’t be pissed off seeing it, either.
