It's like Groundhog Day with guns.

 Based on the novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. Major William Cage (Tom Cruise), an officer who has no combat training, is send to a suicide mission against an alien race.  After being exposed to one of the invaders, Cage finds himself repeating the same day each time he is killed. With every time he experiences combat, his skills increase, but is not enough to win the battle.He seeks the help of Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), a Special Forces warrior to help him repel the the aliens once and for all.

Didn't know Edge of Tomorrow was based on a Japanese Novel

The latest sci-fi movie starring Tom Cruise is based on the novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, All You Need is Kill (オール・ユー・ニード・イズ・キル, Ōru Yū Nīdo Izu Kiru). There is also a manga adaptation, pulished in the west by Viz Media and drawn by Takeshi Obata (of Death Note fame). I want to watch this movie (sadly it will be on video).
