An average offering in the vein of "Groundhog Day" concerning a cowardly soldier (Tom Cruise) who is forced to fight in a war against machines, where he has the rare ability to live the day of his first battle over and over again until he knows how he can help win the war. Cruise brings his regular solid stuff, with help from the always fantastic Emily Blunt, and the sense of humor it possesses is a nice touch, but ultimately it just loses steam in the end and cannot really sustain its energy throughout its running time. It is pretty fun while it lasts, but the ending is largely predictable and plays it safe and conservative. Still probably worth watching, if largely forgettable.
