Tom Cruise and Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s new satire is a delightful catastrophe.
It wants to be the "Dr. Strangelove" of climate change. But instead of laughs, it has in-your-face overacting and a didactic disaster scenario.
Cruise's trademark intensity turns leaden and fatiguing in this heavy-handed satire — an endurance test disguised as black comedy. Hathaway, however, feasts on villainy, articulating evil utterances and staring daggers into the camera. One's unbearable to watch. The other is delicious, according to critic Sean Burns.
