Cruises Best Performance In Years

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2017)

Finishing off my plan to watch every Tom Cruise movie in order, I come to American Made (2017)
Plot In A Paragraph: The story of Barry Seal, an American pilot who became a drug-runner for the CIA in the 1980s in a clandestine operation that would be exposed as the Iran- Contra Affair.
Easily Tom Cruises best non Mission Impossible movie since Collateral, and his best performance since the same movie, some 13 years ago.
Very similar to Blow with Johnny Depp, back when he made good movies. I can not believe this movie did not find an audience. I think if it had maybe a more famous supporting cast, it may have helped bring the fans in, but truthfully I don't think anybody could have done better than those cast. Great performances all round, a fun soundtrack and a well told story. Since I didn't know it, it was a tad better to me.
American Made grossed $50 million at the domestic Box Office (recouping its budget) and is currently the 39th highest grossing movie of the year.
