Tom Cruise is a hard man to kill. He’s played the lead in more than 30 films, many of which have revolved around life-or-death situations, yet can you remember watching him die onscreen? The man is pretty much bullet-proof, so the fact that he dies multiple times in new film Edge of Tomorrow makes it intriguing for that fact alone. But while the set-up is a strong one, the pay-off is disappointing, making for a high-concept action picture that’s somewhat less than the sum of its parts.
Playing fast-and-loose with Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s source novel All You Need is Kill, Edge of Tomorrow kicks off with a series of news reports that piece together the film’s back story. Seems aliens have invaded the planet and are endeavouring to wipe out the human race. Christened ‘Mimics’ due to their ability to copy and even anticipate our actions, they are a huge, translucent blur of tentacles and tendrils that are fast, unpredictable, and deadly.
And these Mimics are winning the war, inspiring the planet to form the United Defense Force and attempt one last great push on the beaches of France.
Live. Die. Repeat? Well he lives, obviously. He dies, repeatedly. But unfortunately, no matter how much Tom Cruise tries to mess with genre conventions in Edge of Tomorrow, he ultimately repeats what has gone before.

Jun 6, 2014 · Edge of Tomorrow is a fantastic action movie based on the "Groundhog Day" concept. A good cast here contrasts with the mediocre plot, which basically uses the concept of repeating the same day over and over again.
May 22, 2014 · Tom Cruise stars as a soldier who relives the same day over and over again in this clever and propulsive sci-fi thriller. The film mixes "Groundhog Day" and "Starship Troopers" elements, and features a love story and a twisty plot.
