DVD Review: Rain Man [Blu-ray]

Hoffman and Cruise develop a competition for attention over the course of the film – at least in Cruise’s mind – and he seems hell bent on preventing Hoffman’s theft of the picture. But it’s a hopeless task. Hoffman’s fixation with the classic “Who’s on First?” comedy routine is mirrored by Cruise’s increasing frustration with Raymond’s periodic hissy fits. The result is some unfortunate scenery chewing by Cruise, which in turn makes Hoffman’s baffling eccentricities seem noble and oddly heroic.
