Yep, that's Tom Cruise alright.

Rating: 3/10 (12 June 2019)

During the first hour after watching this film, I seriously questioned my life and where it was going. Should I just have studied harder at school, become a top pilot, drug smuggler, a CIA operative and one of Pablo Escobar's crew, or is that just how the ideal American would like my life to have ideally been? It was dizzying. Well, those doors are closed to me now.
I guess the moral of this story is don't give the bird to the guy who just gave you a million bucks as you climb into your Ford Pinto, especially if you're too young to be retiring on your yacht in two weeks.
As far as Tom Cruise films go, yeah, it was Tom Cruise. He was the same guy as always, just squashed onto a different background. He's been imprinted onto better stories - Collateral - for example. American Made is just a montage of things teenagers thought would be a cool lifestyle, back in 1997.
