Action packed, patriotic thriller. perhaps a bit over the top with a hero beyond a super hero. Nonetheless, keeps your attention and you walk out of the theater with a smile on your face. Director Fuqua even stated that there is nothing wrong with "waving the flag a bit" in a movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The movie did keep you on the edge of your seat. It was also interesting to see the inner workings of a 911 call center. Worth seeing!
Pros well paced

I can't get over the lack of humor in having your identity stolen. The movie does have some lol moments, and tries to end with a redemptive message, but in the back of my mind throughout the entire movie was the thought of how one's life could truly be made hellish by having one's identity stolen, and the lack of humor therein! For that reason I cannot recommend this movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

While it is true that at times Cruise looks 12 in this movie it is nonetheless great to see the F-14 on the big screen again. Well worth it if you're a fan of naval aviation, the Tomcat especially! Any time, baby!
Pros the f-14!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Apparently this only is very loosely related to the actual story, but it kept my interest and was swift paced. Worth watching!

It does get a bit hard to follow when a does to b what c wanted to do to d but e got involved with f- you get the idea. Nonetheless, it kept me interested, and did have more twists than a 50s sock hop. Dialogue was a bit muddled at times, which also did not help to follow.
Cons too complex
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Day-Lewis deserves an Oscar, as does Field. A long movie that's not action packed, but it did not drag at all. Very interesting film that apparently is quite close to reality- several items I was unaware of were included like the peace delegation sent by the South.
Must see if you are a US history buff, Civil War buff, film buff!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.
