The best films of Tom Cruise are the ones that he doesn't play super-agents-almost-super-heroes, but portrays interesting and profound characters like this one.
Agree. I’m so old, I saw Risky Business in the theater. He was a proper movie star before his action roles. I felt like his acting took a hiatus. Bare minimum for Ethan Hunt in terms of character.

We had a Gremlin when I was in high school. It was two years from new and I was driving down the street and went over some railroad tracks. The rear window fell out of the car, hit the ground and exploded into a zillion sparkly pieces. Pretty much sums up the entire Gremlin ownership experience…
It's fake. The dude this is based on made most of it up. Just like Frank Abignale the guy the movie "Catch Me if you can" was based on made most of it up. A reporter did an expose of Abignale and found most of his claims literally couldn't have happened because he could prove where Abignale was at dates and times he claimed many of his exploits. Further, Abignale presents himself as some sort of Robin hood who was sticking it to big business and banks, when the reality his primary base of victims were just regular working stiffs he conned. He also, never worked for the FBI. There is zero evidence Barry Seal ever worked for any government entity and it would all be declassified at this point. Seal most certainly trafficked guns and drugs, but a CIA asset he was not. He made it up and the stories associated with it, to legitimize a life of crime. The list of Charlatans that claim to have worked for the CIA is endless and they always cite "of course theres no evidence, it was classified and hush hush!". This is why this space is ripe for the picking for people that want to make up a fake back story. This stuff was super popular in the 70s and 80s with people like Frank Dux (who the movie Bloodsport was based on). Claiming to have basically been a freaking super hero in the employ of the CIA. Of course his actual military records show he was a POG that never left the states.
At best, if you're lucky, your mom is probably the only woman you'll ever meet that can keep your secrets. It's fine though; it's just how they are. Best not to get too vulnerable around them.
Back in the 80s during my time in the military. I was deployed to central America a few times from Ft Bragg,there was one time when we were flown out by two shiny white planes. I bet this character was one of the pilots.
Wow, you know I saw the previews on this movie and never had any desire to see it, after seeing these scenes you posted, American Made has become a priority to watch, thanks for posting.
There's been two movies made about Barry Seal. The first one, called "Doublecrossed" was made in 1991 starring Dennis Hopper as Barry. It was a good movie (Barry's life makes a good plot). Then this one was made in 2017, called "American Made". I think they're both really good movies.
Definitely my favourite Tom Cruise movie - because he's a qualified pilot, and it shows. Fun fact though. The real life Barry Seal looked like Brendan Gleeson, Domhnall Gleeson's father.
This reminds me of the Simpsons Halloween episode. Otto is driving the school bus and a little monster is clinging to the side: Bart: “Otto! There’s a gremlin on the side of the bus!” Otto: “I’m on it Bart dude!” *swerves into the driver in the Gremlin cruising alongside making it crash and burn* Otto: “Phew! That was a close one!”
the kid got detained for a while and cruise made a call to the guy to help him release the kid or something along those lines but the guy just said it would get taken care of or maybe that they already took care of it
The people he was selling for did it so the kid wouldn’t go stitch on anyone. Barry was just trying to fly him away to get him away from everyone and the people he worked for had a different idea.
