Fantastic. Cruise delivers a terrifyingly icy bad guy, it captures both the isolation and nighttime beauty of LA, and the action/suspense are aces.

I blame the ugliness of PUBLIC ENEMIES and the ridiculousness of BLACKHAT for my failure to watch this sooner.

The action is for shit -- too much editing and speed ramping -- and it once again feels like no progress is made from start to finish, but there's some minor fun to be had here. Some of the bigger action beats are gloriously silly, and Nemesis is pretty cool in a "Rawhead Rex w/automatic weapons" kind of way.

There's a fantastic 90-minute movie in THE LAST JEDI anchored by raw emotion, thrilling action, and some beautiful story beats.

Unfortunately, it's trapped in a 150-minute running time.

Yes, it definitely goes on for way too long, and no, there aren't a lot of big laughs, but, and hear me out here... Rachel McAdams.
