      @@satanbrony9235 Tom Cruise is known for being one of the easiest actors to work with. Cameron Crowe, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Sydney Pollack, Robert Redford, Doug Limanand and many other directors have worked with him. All of them praise Cruise's work ethic
      You should read about the way Kubrick treated him on Eyes Wide Shut. Cruise never complained about it.
      Now look at Alex Kurtzman, director of Mummy. He doesn't have a good record critically. Seems like he used Tom Cruise as a scapegoat to justify his mistakes as the director.

    The plot point of "The One" was that there was a total amount of "power" per person, which always spread evenly among all alternate universe versions of said person. So by killing an alternate version, every remaining version of that person became equally more powerful. This explains how one version was able to dodge with inhuman reflexes in the beginning of the movie, even though he hadnt killed any other version of himself. He just happened to be one of the last three remaining versions, which meant he got one third of the total "power". The movie depicts beautifully, how much difference training can make, even when your base capabilities are boosted to inhuman levels, to the point where training becomes less important.

    I never noticed that younger man part. That just makes the scenes with the not very believable love interest all the more comical.
    Hell, I thought one way to salvage the movie would have for Cruise's character to be the blonde's father because he looked it. Instead of a meaningless hook up, he stole the map under false pretext of patching things up. It would give the blonde layers as she deals with being pissed but wanting to see the good in him.
    Just now occurred to me it also could have added something to the interactions with Jekyll. Something like, "I know I gave her daddy issues, but if you take advantage of that I'll kick your ass."
