My Comment:
I couldn't stop laughing. From the very beginning, this movie had succeeded chuckling me. The acts were very exaggerated, and those were the good part. Robert Downey Jr. was incredible, could play the act of African-American and Australian. Too bad he didn't win the oscar. It took me some time to realize that Tom Cruise was the producer, I didn't know that he could act like that. Overall, it was unique, extremely funny, and very recommended.

My Comment:
I could feel the excitement from the very beginning of this movie. It was appealing how Matthew could charm me with his act. His character was really cool, smart, and unafraid to play it hard. And off course crafty. Ryan, i almost didn't recognize him, he seemed very different. I like the twisted mode of the story, how different cases could help each other. However, I felt that this movie was like an extended crime tv series but the good one.
