Edge of Tomorrow, 2 Stars

This is a war variation of Groundhog Day and includes lots of 'shoot 'em up' scenes, if you are a fan of those.

Tom Cruise (Mission Impossible series) plays his usual self but with a good range as he needs to bring a somewhat different approach to each 'new' (repeat) day. Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau) is a favourite of mine and she does not disappoint. Bill Paxton (Apollo 13) adds some comic relief in his repeating role. Brendan Gleeson ('Mad-Eye Moody' in the HP series and see next review for The Grand Selection) has a restrained but effective part.

The movie was okay and the trailer describes it all. But I wouldn't rush out.
