Description

The Cruisiverse is broken.

Can Alex and Ben repair it? Neil Jordan's stylised Gothic drama, Interview with the Vampire, doesn't hit the usual Tom Cruise marks and so provides a quandary in assessing it against the star's other films and roles.

Simultaneously, Ben and Alex struggle to agree about what exactly the film does and doesn't achieve and whether Cruise is actually any good in it.

Banderas, Dunst, Pitt, Slater - do any get out alive?
