25. Edge of Tomorrow
Year: 2014
Director: Doug Liman
Based on the manga All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, Edge of Tomorrow recalls other notable time loop sagas, including Groundhog Dayand Source Code in the witty and engaging way it moves its story forward piece by piece. Like a video game hero with infinite lives, Maj. William Cage (Tom Cruise) has the opportunity to refine and correct every mistake he makes along the way. As long as Cage is on that journey, Edge of Tomorrowis a blast, and Cruise carries the surprisingly amusing action like a pro—his skill with deadpan comedy proving even more valuable than his famous enthusiasm for doing his own stunts. Maybe it’s exactly because both director Doug Liman and Cruise have something to prove at this point in their careers that Edge of Tomorrow makes
