Groundhog Day, by way of Battle: Los Angeles The H-Bomb: Major William Cage (Tom Cruise), is a military PR man who, for reasons that are too muddled to get into here, is demoted to Private and sent to the front lines in France for a major offensive against a hoard of tentacled alien invaders. Since Cage has zero combat experience, and is a bit of a chicken shit, it is a … [Read more...] about Edge of Tomorrow

The odd dialog between some of the characters was poorly written, awkwardly acted, and gave the tone of the whole film a bad pulse.
