A disastrous film

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2018)

I don't understand Tom Cruise agreed to star in such a mediocre film. Obviously he should take on more serious roles, like the Vietnam war veteran in Born on the Fourth of July, or he could make more entertaining films, such as the Mission Impossible franchise. This film, American Made, uses a rather superficial way to approach a somehow "legendary" figure Barry Seal in the history. There are just too many voice-overs, which certainly interrupts the pace of the film. The character development fails completely and you never know what the protagonist is thinking. It is neither serious enough nor entertaining enough to make a hit.
