Tom Cruise's most underrated movie has just turned 10 years old

Given how vast Tom Cruise's filmography is, you'd be surprised to know that one of his most underrated films often slips through the cracks.

However, when it comes the Hollywood veteran, the likes of Mission Impossible, Top Gun: Maverick and its 1986 original are very iconic in their own right.

I mean, the 62-year-old has been in the industry since 1980, so there are, of course, some films Cruise has been involved in that aren't particularly the best, but there's one flick that comes to mind that is fantastic and oft not talked about much, which turns 10-years-old this year.

The film sees Cruise play Major William Cage as the likes of Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Charlotte Riley and Brendan Gleeson joined him in the cast - not ring a bell yet?

We are, of course, talking about action/sci-fi thriller that is Edge of Tomorrow, which released in cinemas across the globe in 2014.

A loose adaptation of the Japanese light novel, All You Need Is Kill, (which is also a sick title) by Hir, the film follows Cage (Cruise), a new recruit who has 'never seen combat', is assigned to a suicide mission along with his comrade, Sergeant Rita Vrataski (Blunt), however, every time he is killed he is then revived to fight the same fight against the aliens who occupy Earth.

Whenever he is revived, he must learn to improve his skills in order to defeat the aliens, known as 'Mimics'.

If that doesn't jog your memory, then you can watch the trailer here:

While Edge of Tomorrow may not be the first movie that comes to mind when you think of Cruise, it was reviewed incredibly well by critics at the time, currently sitting at a whopping 91 percent Rotten Tomatoes critical score to this day, as well as a 90 percent Popcorn meter.

What's even better is that Edge of Tomorrow also relied on practical effects - surprising a lot of people when they came across the behind-the-scenes footage.

And in case you needed anymore convincing, MovieFreak.com's review read: "Edge of Tomorrow is a rousing adventure filled with pulse-pounding thrills and surprising dashes of character-driven humor, the film a breathless two hours of fun worth celebrating."

Meanwhile, Vanity Fair stated in their review: "This is the kind of thoughtfully constructed movie that other summertime blockbusters should aspire to be more like, clever and cool and never giving you that ho-hum sense that you've seen it all before."

For anyone in the US that's interested in Edge of Tomorrow, it's available to watch on Netflix.
