With a juicy high-concept like "Groundhog Day meets Aliens and Saving Private Ryan", executives were probably excited to throw money at this, but it turns it wasn't such a good deal as the movie reportedly underperformed.
Stealing the movie, however, is Emily Blunt in a taut performance as one of the most convincing action heroines seen in years, finding the perfect balance between being tough as nails and haunted by her ordeal.
Without spoiling anything, the ending doesn't work and is rushed and ruined it for me. Still enjoyable, but joining Minority Report, War of the Worlds and Oblivion in the club of fine sci-fi movies - curiously all starring Tom Cruise - almost ruined by the end.
6.5
