WHAT'S IT ABOUT? Tom Cruise dangles out of helicopters, bashes into sides of cars and gets embroiled in punch-ups galore! All in the name of thwarting jowly bad guy Philip Seymour Hoffman.

ANY GOOD? Less confusing than the first one, not as cartoonishly ridiculous as the second one and packed full of more epic showpieces than us mortals should phsyically ingest in a two-hour sitting.

QUOTE FOR THE POSTER: 'Seymour Hoffman evades Cruise 'jerk' tirade in white-knuckle blockbuster!'

REASON TO WATCH: To see Cruise get hit, shot at, kicked and forced to hide his grinning berk face in rubber masks. And because it's a bloody good film.
