Tom adds another fitting role to his Filmography.

Rating: 7/10 (13 March 2018)

American Made a 2017 crime drama staring Tom cruise as a pilot (Barry Seal) that is working for the CIA and the Medellin Cartel during the 70s and 80s. This story is "based" on true events. The director Doug Liman which is best known for the Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow and Swingers(maybe not the last one).
The over tone of this film feels very similar to the Bourne films with its faster paced scenes and is rather enjoyable to watch. The film is the type you watch when you're sick at home and can't find something to watch. I'm a Tom Cruise fan and regardless if you like him or not, he has great energy and genuinely adds another fitting role to his Filmography. I never enjoy spoiling the film for people so i won't talk about the plot, i will say that it's surprising on where the story ends. I wanted more. There were some fantastic aerial shots throughout the film. I enjoyed that being set in the 80s you felt that is was shot then too. Now and then it would cut to Barry recording himself though a old video recorder which added greatly to the overall feel of the film. For the most part i enjoyed this movie, it could have been cut down by 20 mins. Certain parts seemed a bit unnecessary but other than that i was pleasantly pleased by it and would recommend to anyone that wants to see something new.
