Despite all the good points of this feature--adept directing, thick atmosphere, and a fantastic performance by Tom Cruise--the movie seems strangely . . . mediocre. Brad Pitt's Louis, instead of being angst-ridden, comes off as merely boring. The "shocking" scenes aren't, really, and the film feels as though it meanders. I'll sink my fangs into Coppola's Dracula instead.
