That right there is a father's rage that sent chills down my spine.
With a character like this, Tom Cruise and the writers could have easily done the stoic, grey t-shirt, "I lOvE MY FamIly" action hero. But instead, they did something better, which is giving him humility and raw emotion.
Cruise didn't need to go this hard, but he did and I love him for it.
There's some great camerawork to complement the scenes. Also, Max von Sydow and Samantha Morton were both brilliant.
