Director Cameron Crowe (JERRY MAGUIRE, ALMOST FAMOUS) teams up with Tom Cruise once again in an adaptation of Alejandro Amenabar's 1997 Spanish film OPEN YOUR EYES. Cruise plays David Aames, a playboy publisher leading a seemingly charmed life. His most recent playmate is his friend Julie Gianni (Cameron Diaz), who cares for David more than he realizes. When David meets the fetching Sofia Serrano (Penelope Cruz) at his birthday party, he awakens to the possibility of what true love can feel like, leaving Julie distraught. However, after an accident that changes David's life, he is forced to rethink his choices. This psychological thriller becomes roller coaster ride of flashbacks as David tries to make sense of all that has happened, relaying some surreal experiences to a psychiatrist (Kurt Russell) after being charged with murder. The film's message may differ for each viewer, but it does make one bold point: every action has consequences.
Crowe gets exceptional performances from Cruise, Cruz, and Diaz and the alluring pop soundtrack features songs from REM, Radiohead, Bob Dylan, and Peter Gabriel. Amazingly, the scene of Cruise running through a completely empty Times Square was shot on location, a major feat in and of itself.

Customer Reviews
Not a movie for everyone, but I think it is one of Tom Cruse's best performances. This is one of the few DVD's I choose to own so I can watch again and again to see a new angle to the story.The coming attraction for this movie does not give an accurate taste of where the movie leads. Without giving away the story, it is not just a romance drama and nothing is really what it seems.Look for a small part played by the wonderful Tilda Swinton toward the end.

This movie fell short of my expectations for Tom. It's okay, but don't pay anymore for it than "O" is asking. It just barely makes the grade.
