Reaction: Tom Cruise continues his reign as the king of the box office for the studio. The three films he has starred in for us so far are now our 1st (Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow), 2nd (Splinter Cell) and 10th (Alan Wake) highest grossing films. After the rocky box office of this season, we are definitely happy this film turned out to be a hit and we are equally happy that next season should see the release of another Splinter Cell film.
"It's odd that the film has been marketed as yet another Tom Cruise action film when it is so much more than that. Cruise once again shows ample range in this supernatural thriller as our every man hero." - Charles Yost, Oregonian
"With all the high-profile and high-risk stunts in the Mission: Impossible and Splinter Cell films, people forget just how incredibly talented Tom Cruise is as an actor. He's really never played a role like Alan Wake before, but he knocks it out of the park." - Stephen Ridley, Boston Globe
"At times the film and director David Slade get far too bogged down on building atmosphere, occasionally losing track of the actual story." - Chris Knowles, TV Guide
