Tom Cruise has been a part of the film industry since 1980, and naturally, not every project has been a standout. However, there’s a particular film that stands out for its excellence and remains underappreciated, celebrating its decade anniversary this year.

In this film, Cruise portrays Major William Cage, joined by a talented cast including Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Charlotte Riley, and Brendan Gleeson. Does that sound familiar yet?

The film in question is the action/sci-fi thriller Edge of Tomorrow, which hit theaters worldwide in 2014.

This movie is a loose adaptation of the Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. It follows Cage, a recruit with no combat experience, who is put into a near-impossible mission alongside Sergeant Rita Vrataski, played by Blunt. Every time Cage dies, he is revived to fight the same battle against alien invaders on Earth.

As Cage is resurrected repeatedly, he must hone his skills to defeat the alien menace, known as ‘Mimics’.

Although Edge of Tomorrow might not be the first Tom Cruise film that comes to mind, it was highly praised by critics, maintaining an impressive 91 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes along with a 90 percent Popcorn meter.

The film also surprised many with its use of practical effects, as revealed in behind-the-scenes footage.

MovieFreak.com described the film as “a rousing adventure filled with pulse-pounding thrills and surprising dashes of character-driven humor, the film a breathless two hours of fun worth celebrating.”

Vanity Fair’s review highlighted: “This is the kind of thoughtfully constructed movie that other summertime blockbusters should aspire to be more like, clever and cool and never giving you that ho-hum sense that you’ve seen it all before.”

For those in the United States interested in watching Edge of Tomorrow, it is available on Netflix.
