Stunningly Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2018)

Not a big Cruise fan except early films. This shocked me. He was absolutely brilliant as Barry Seal. From beginning to end I was captivated. I had to stop & go back to on demand because I haven't seen Cruise since the 80s on the big screen to see if it was him. I had read six books on Iran-Contra & with the absence of Bush 41 ( until the end ) as well as Clinton meeting in Mena along with Oliver North, this is absolutely spot on. What I want to know is how the CIA & others who MUST approve the film to obtain planes, tanks etc approved this real life story on the big screen. I will watch again.
