Review of Vanilla Sky (2001) by Christopher A — 30 Jun 2013
Bizarre. Intriguing. Confusing. Intense. Vanilla sky could be described as any of these and for me was a huge succes.
Well filmed and good direction we are treated with a standout performance by Tom Cruise as he plays David Aames, a playboy executive type who's world begins to merge dream and reality. We've all had a dream that felt so real it was hard to tell the difference until you woke up, well Vanilla Sky explores that and tips it on its head.
The scenes with Kurt Russell interrogating a locked up Aames are intense as we witness the flashbacks that lead up to someone dying, perhaps a murder.
Trippy, good fun and possibly Tom Cruise's best film of the last 10 years.
"Even in the future, the sweet is never as sweet without the sour. ".
