Vanilla Sky
2001
**½
Director: Cameron Crowe
Cast: Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Kurt Russell, Jason Lee
Cameron Crowe takes time off from his sympathetic comedies with this remake of a Spanish film Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes), which tells a story of a vain man whose seemingly perfect life falls into pieces. This overlong drama has some striking moments, such as the opening scene, but the ending makes it all seem a waste of time.
