A Tom Cruise jet fueled engine

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2018)

"American Made", a non-stop action film from the same pair of director-actor that delivered on "Edge of Tomorrow", Doug Liman and Tom Cruise have proven once again that if they are put on the same set it will only turn out fantastic.
The story of this biographic picture talks about real life pilot Barry Seal who gets hired by the CIA to collect intelligence in South America but ends up smuggling drugs for the cartel, and for non other than Pablo Escobar himself.
Tom Cruise plays the titular character and gives out of his best performances of his later career. The energy and fuel of Cruise's persona makes the movie a thrill ride for the viewer.
The fact paced editing and subject matter feel a bit like "Catch Me If You Can" or "The Wolf of Wall Street", but somehow you end up rooting for character this time.
The script has wit, humor and its two hour running time will fly by without you even noticing.
