Fast-paced fun

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2018)

'American Made' is not one of Tom Cruise's best efforts, but nor is it his worst - it's based on a true story of a pilot that ends up working for the CIA and drug smuggling for the Colombians in the early 80s.
There's plenty of guns, double-crosses and fast flying, with easy-to-follow graphics to explain who's doing what, & where. Some funny moments and it's easy to see Cruise was enjoying himself.
Nothing too new, in terms of the Medellín cartel, but it's all handled well, with time flying by, a few flash-forwards, and a good ending. Worth the 2 hours
