Simply a messy masterpiece. Every performance in this film is speicla in its own way, but I would have to give it all to Tom Cruise, who stole almost the entire movie. Every time he came on my television screen, a struck of excitement hit me due to his character's emotions. This movie will hit you very hard. Paul Thomas Anderson has created a classic of the century.
