Sure,I know you'll miss the pretty faces of Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, but you can get that much from the net for free. At today's theater prices, this one isn't worth it (even the Red Box fee!) Unfortunately neither plot,script, cinematography nor acting has anything to offer. One cannot live on action alone-especially when one has to "suspend disbelief" every few minutes. The film was originally titled Wichita and Trouble Man; that seems to say it all.   I hope Hollywood isn't putting all of their “eggs” behind this one banking on the “star” power to make it a hit. Tom Cruise tries too hard to be what he was in Top Gun (he misses by the way) and Cameron Diaz is cute as always but still the same old, same old. Too many close-up shots and not enough depth to the storyline. Disappointing but not really a surprise.
