Review:
I dug the premise of this move from the first time I saw a trailer. All up
front, with Cruise in it, I wondered if it would live up to that. I figured
Emily Blunt could save it, though. ;) It absolutely lived up to the promise of
the premise. Things ran along in an interesting, and at time fun, way. Some of
the twists maybe a bit predictable, but still really good. If I had been
reading this as a book, I would have marked the end down for being too contrived—but
in all honesty it was exactly what I wanted to happen and gives the viewers
more resolution than another ending might have.
Content:
Sex – 1 (One soldier fights in the nude
under his metal suit. Nothing can be seen except part of his bare behind.)
Language – 1+ (Blunt’s character is often
referred to as the Full Metal B*; honestly don’t remember much other language)
Violence – 5 (It’s a military, sci-fi
action. It’s basic war violence and at times graphic.)
Read
this. If
you liked the movie Edge of Tomorrow,
you might like the book Erasing Time by C.J. Hill (Janette Rallison).
