The Mummy review: Tom Cruise's character reminiscent of Top Gun, Mission Impossible

Firstpost  

The Mummy is an adventure action thriller and is directed by Alex Kurtzman. Tom Cruise plays Nick Morton, an Indiana Jones type figure who plunders ancient sites for artifacts he can make a fortune from. Tom Cruise’s role is very similar to his roles in Mission Impossible and Top Gun. Annabelle Wallis as Jennifer Halsey doesn’t have much of a role in the film except for helping Cruise’s character along the way The story picks up in the second half with the plot twists. The first plot twist keeps you interested in the film, and the twist at the end does a great job of setting up the sequel for the film, with Tom Cruise playing a very different character than what you expect of him.
