EXPECTATIONS: I expect to see a lot of the smuggly handsome Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz being sexy, and stuff exploding, and I'm fine with that.
REALITY: This was a surprisingly great action film. The set up is pretty ridiculous, but it's ridiculous in a Bond kind of way, rather than in a Killers kind of way. Cruise and Diaz bounce of each other really well, and the action doesn't stop for long at all, so there is little time to worry about how dumb the whole thing is because there are massive planes shooting down at our two heroes, or Cruise is too busy jumping on to the hood of a moving car.
There were zero surprises in the storyline but it was a huge surprise how entertaining this was.
***1/2
