Steineded How sad is this?

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

skeptic skeptical Wow. What a tale. Is it really true? I have my doubts but, then again, knowing what I do about the Caustic Incompetence Agency, it certainly lies within the realm of the possible. Good performance by Tom Cruise, as always, whose talents have not been tainted by age.

EngineerSahab Ever wondered what it would be like to see Tom Cruise taking a break from his usual Sci-Fi & Impossible series "avatar". Well, here is your answer - It gets even more exciting and entertaining. This is Tom Cruise's real life take on the impossible series where Barry Seal replaces Ethan Hunt and CIA as the agency, which dictates the terms. It's just that Barry loves to go with the flow and without any intention of getting involved with anything that seems out of his league and this is something each one of us can relate to. He is your usual guy who happens to be a pilot and wants to make some extra cash with every extra mile. So what's wrong with it? Well nothing is wrong when you do it for the right guys, and nothing gets more exciting and dangerous when those right guys turn out to be CIA.What is even more amusing and entertaining to watch is the fact that despite having no choice left but to cooperate with CIA, "Barry Seal never says no" to any offer (even if it comes from any drug lord) that helps him maintain his cash flow that obviously was becoming unmanageable for him by every passing day. Although, I must admit that it was quite a fun to watch him trying to manage millions of cash that he had no idea how to spend. You will definitely enjoy watching Tom cruise as Barry Seal who uses CIA to get his end of the bargain (and they thought that they were the only smart guys who live in one of the greatest countries of the world).If you want to go on an adventure trip, go watch this movie and you will understand what Tom Cruise really means when he says, "I am just a gringo who always delivers".

bryangary65 A film that keeps your attention, with all the skullduggery and that's just the American government!As always Cruise is watchable, and gives his all.

gh-141 Let me start out by acknowledging that "American Made" was not a true story. People, the Millenium Falcon never actually made the Kessel Run either. I'd rather they hadn't mucked the movie up with their anti-Reagan/anti-Oliver North trope, but it's Hollywood. What can you expect?Still, the movie was great. Cruise WAS that guy. He sweated when he should have sweated. He smiled that impish smile. He made the "how am I going to deal with all this cash" scenes seem believable. How could you not like that guy and sympathyze with his fate?In addition to Tom, the movie was beautifully cast. The CIA guy, though the character was not believable, was played to the hilt. Even the non-speaking 15 year-old girl who the exquisitely weaselly brother-in-law picked up was perfect. I can still see her posture.This film was was different from "Knight and Day," but every bit as entertaining. You should watch both of them (twice).
