The story holds together, which is more than can be said for a lot of sci-fi flicks. Cruise and his castmates acquit themselves well, but something never quite clicks with the movie as a whole. It may be the creepiness of the obvious contempt for personal freedom shown by the operative premise; though the story rebuts that premise, it seems to do so almost by accident, not for any philosophical reasons. And the product placements are absolutely grotesque for being so blatant.
