Reaction: Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a new king at the box office. The latest Splinter Film has beaten out Booster Gold to become the highest grossing film for the studio, and has beaten out the second film in it's own series, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, to become the most profitable film in the studio's history.
"The series takes a slightly darker, more down and dirty approach this time around. This time around, Cruise doesn't have the gadgets and tech support, and is constantly surrounded by the enemy - creating ample tension throughout." - Glenn Howard, Total Film
"Usually by the time a franchise gets to a fourth entry fatigue has set in, so the series goes bigger, sillier and more over-the-top. The Splinter Cell series however has the other way, taking the series in a more serious direction. It's crazy to think that this series just keeps getting better with each entry." - Matthew Ellis, USA Today
"Some of his action projects don't always test his acting skills, but here Tom Cruise has to handle the usual action expected in the series, but he also has to handle some pretty intense emotions - much more than is usually expected in the action genre. But to his credit, Tom Cruise delivers, giving his best performance in the series." - George Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
