Executive Decision - B
Edge Of Tomorrow - B-
The whole thing felt rushed, even though we are literally watching the same thing over and over again. There needed to be some more character building. If you are going to build your entire climax around this team of misfits helping them out, you need to actually have something invested in the characters and the movie doesn't allow it. There also feels like there is a lack of development for Cruise and Blunt's characters. Yes, Cruise's character grows in courage and battle skill, but the character still feels one note. Blunt's character seems remarkably well composed for having the time travel ability and then losing it and watching the world crumble around her.
I will give the script credit for not replaying the same thing over and over again with each loop and only as touchstones when needed. However, it is still an action flick without much development around them.
