This could have almost been an enjoyable action comedy in the vein of "Romancing The Stone" or "The Last Action Movie", but unfortunately, they have seriously overdone the comedy portion, throwing the whole film out of balance. Because nothing is taken seriously, even the action scenes are played strictly for laughs, completely eliminating any notion of suspense. What's left is Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz clowning and unsuccessfully trying to pretend that they aren't on a movie set.
