| 2:24 | He doesn't seem bored wandering around the airport, like most people would. |
| 3:11 | That must be too heavy for carry on surely. |
| 4:35 | He's creepy. |
| 5:34 | He's really creepy! |
| 8:30 | Kansas has the best scrap. Who knew? |
| 10:00 | "Someday is just code for never." He needs himself a life list. |
| 11:08 | Are flights really like that? The turbulence, I mean, not the epic fighting. |
| 17:30 | I'm pretty sure he'd be able to fly that plane. He is Maverick, after all. |
| 20:00 | That's leaving one heck of a crop circle. |
| 24:49 | She got in the vehicle, even though he told her not to. Silly girl. |
| 26:11 | "Charming one moment, homicidal the next." |
| 28:19 | He has graduated from creepy to awesome. |
| 31:42 | She's running around in a bright yellow dress, boots, bulky bag and a gun. What a catch! |
| 34:37 | No one would believe her. Talk about a break from reality. |
| 42:43 | "Not your average Duracell." |
| 47:19 | I want a wall of white board! |
| 49:14 | Hehehehe! "What number would you like?" |
| 54:48 | The name June doesn't really suit her. I think April would have been better. |
| 58:12 | What kind of plane is that? It's super duper! |
| 1:01:21 | Is that a true stat about the train vs. plane? It still doesn't change my feelings but it's worth considering. |
| 1:08:56 | Oh lord, is she trying to seduce him? Why do people envisage futures with people who turn out to be super spy assassin types? |
| 1:10:41 | Is she ever actually going to do as he says? |
| 1:13:32 | Gah, she's annoying. Why has she left the room? |
| 1:18:34 | Running across the roofs like Tomb Raider! |
| 1:20:42 | Well I don't believe that for a minute, he'll be fine. |
| 1:21:42 | Is that Shannon from LOST? Wow! |
| 1:30:51 | Oh, no, no, no. Not the bull run thing. |
| 1:34:34 | GPS tracking. There's an app for that. |
| 1:38:22 | They're not even wearing helmets. Bad influence. |
| 1:40:35 | That motorbike stunt seems highly unlikely. Although so does the entire thing! |
| 1:41:52 | This is like the James Bond motorbike thing. If they do the best helicopter stunt ever, I'll be so happy! |
| 1:51:45 | Someday actually happened! |
Thoughts
The trailer sold this one to Mr C, and I wasn't quite so sure but figured that was mostly because I'd been supremely put off the secret spy type of film by Killers. I'm not particularly a fan of either Tom Cruise or Cameron Diaz but the trailer did seem amusing.
It wasn't a good film, I would not go so far as to say that, but I did enjoy it. I did end up liking Tom Cruise's character, which is something I wasn't expecting to do at all. The stunts were silly, the story was unbelievable, but it made me laugh throughout, and as a bit of escapism, it didn't go far wrong. Thankfully there is no room for a sequel!
Rating: 3 / 5
