David Aames est un jeune et brillant éditeur new-yorkais qui a tout pour lui: l'argent, la réussite professionnelle et les femmes. Son ami Pelayo commet l'erreur de lui présenter Sofia, sa nouvelle compagne. Au premier regard, David succombe au charme de celle-ci. Tous les deux filent bientôt le parfait amour. Alors que David se dispute en voiture avec Julie, une ex folle de jalousie, la jeune femme accélère et c'est l'accident. Julie décède. Atrocement défiguré, David est transporté d'urgence à l'hôpital où les médecins ne peuvent réaliser de miracle. Sa vie bascule. Les gens ont dorénavant peur de lui et Sofia l'évite. Mais un matin, David se fait gentiment réveiller par celle-ci, qui lui déclare son amour. Les médecins lui annoncent même qu'il pourra retrouver son ancien visage. Réalité ou hallucination ?

Crowe confuses the viewer too much with an overcomplicated story only to lead them by the hand at the end. But still, in some mysterious way, this likeable attempt at "Lynch" struck a chord with me. Imaginative direction, a great soundtrack and, surprisingly, Tom "I overact like hell" Cruise abandoned his usual mannerisms here and confirmed that he can play for real in Crowe's films (see Jerry Maguire). A pleasant two hours.

I was bored for most of the film and I didn’t give a toss about the characters (especially the main one, Cruise’s), but I loved the twist.

The American remake of the Spanish Open Your Eyes sticks so closely to the original that there are hardly any differences in the story. Cruise and Cameron Diaz are both perhaps even more suited to the roles for me, although the Spanish actor whose role Cruise was now playing was also excellent. But both films stood primarily on the charm of Penélope Cruz. Playing the same character twice seemed like an interesting idea and she handled the transition to English with aplomb. Other than that, however, the American setting just didn't sit well with me. After all, to match the beauty that abounded in Amenábar's version was quite impossible.

Only on a second screening and with a few years' distance, it's truly a fantastically ethereal experience that breaks a person into pieces. It's not so much the convoluted plot, but above all the captivating performances of Tom Cruise and Penélope Cruz that will be remembered for a long time. Cameron Crowe did exactly what was expected of him: an intellectually and uniquely analysis of the soul that is simple as a slap in the face from the inside. And it works brilliantly.
