)The Day After Tomorrow75%). This is definitely an actor-showcase film, and Cruise and Foxx certainly do not disappoint. The story is fairly straightforward, and Mann plays it that way throughout. He does try a little too hard at times to convince the viewer that Foxx's Max has no other alternative than to remain under Cruise's Vincent, but there were a few choices here and there that strained believability, and some too-obvious narrowing of options. Still, the story's execution was handled very well, and its style -- gritty, almost noir-ish -- is a welcome change from the typical next-scene-must-top-the-previous action movie (okay, it kind-of hearkens back to 80's action films). 85%, a thumbs-up, and my recommendation to see it.
