Vanilla Sky rating: (out of 4 stars) United States; 2001 Directed by Cameron Crowe; produced by Cameron Crowe, Tom Cruise, Paula Wagner; screenplay by Cameron Crowe Starring Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Kurt Russell, Jason Lee, Noah Taylor, Timothy Spall, Tilda Swinton Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon. A remake from a very good film is often disappointing. Compared with 'Abre los ojos' is is, but on its own it is pretty good actually. I liked 'Vanilla Sky'. It keeps you entertained, it seems to have a message and the story is intelligent. With Penélope Cruz in the right role (the same she had in the original) she can be very nice. Tom Cruise has a great performance and Cameron Diaz and Kurt Russell are not that bad either. One of the earlier scenes with Tom Cruise on an empty Times Square alone makes this film already one to watch. You have to pay attention, but then you will enjoy. |
