Opens with a Busby Berkeley dance number but instead of dancers with feathers, we get marines with rifles. And ends with a cheesy “The End” card. Feels like the last gasp of Old Hollywood. Wonderful stuff.

Worth pointing out that although Tom Cruise is more than capable enough to handle the intense sequences, he really, really struggles with the lighter stuff. There’s a couple of bits where his character has to do basic relatable, human shit like “tell a joke” and, god bless him, the poor guy is really trying but never quite gets there.
