Fun Film, Even With That Loser Tom Cruise

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2015)

When a sports agent (Tom Cruise) has a moral epiphany and is fired for expressing it, he decides to put his new philosophy to the test as an independent with the only athlete (Cuba Gooding Junior) who stays with him.
Can we all agree Tom Cruise is over-rated? He has made some great films, some real blockbusters. He brings in the money. And, shockingly, he has gotten two Oscar nominations (I think maybe even for this film). But seriously, he is not good. He just happens to be in good films... with rare exception (maybe "Magnolia"?) when have you actually seen him act?
This is a good film. Not a great one, but a good one. It was popular when it first came out because some people thought that kid was cute. Is he still around? Who knows.
