Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

 'Edge of Tomorrow' aka 'Live, Die, Repeat' uses a reasonably clever premise for in essence a video game movie; a somewhat smarmy Tom Cruise is forced to relive a battle with aliens 'Groundhog Day' style until he gets it right. Satisfying but not very deep actioner has Cruise in fine form. I liked how they played his relationship to female lead Emily Blunt, 21 years his junior, as attraction and respect, but ever shy of traditional romantic partnering. ***
