After the mess that was The Mummy, Cruise makes a comeback!!!

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2018)

Last year was a so-so year for Tom Cruise. The Mummy reboot arrived in theatres with a thud in the wake of the success of other big summer movies that were much better than that movie. Then in the fall came American Made, directed by Doug Liman, who previously directed Tom Cruise along with Emily Blunt in the cult box office hit Edge of Tomorrow. It recieved better praise than The Mummy and did fine business worldwide and brought attention to younger audiences the true story of Barry Seal, who risked his life protecting his family from commies in 1980s America. Some parts of the story have been changed to protect the innocent. I like the cinematography as it gives the movie a retro feel. The acting is well done as well as the soundtrack. Tom Cruise is pretty good as well as the actress playing the main character's wife. This should've gotten some Oscar credit.
