Following the success of Edge of Tomorrow, Tom Cruise has done it again! Tom Cruise and Doug Liman are a perfect duo, This is a must see film! I can't wait for you guys to see it and I think you're gonna love it!
... View MoreThis is the first movie Tom Cruise has done in a long time that I acutally liked. He plays a real guy Barry Seal, whom was recruited by the CIA to smuggle guns to South America. Along the way he got mixed up the drug cartels and started smuggling drugs back the USA. Of course, he made a lot of unexplained money and eventually it was all going to catch back up to him. The movie teaches a good lesson to remember: don't screw over the cartel. Barry met the fate that he couldn't out run once he was outed for spying for the US government on the cartels.FINAL VERDICT: Good story, worth a watch.

... View MoreDoug Liman had to atone for the Jason Bourne film which was too right wing with this: a completely made up left wing distortion to trash Reagan. WAPO, NYT and others spent months on the real story and concluded Reagan and the CIA never knew about a drug connection. The Sandinista regime was not only installed by the Soviets, the president Daniel Ortega promised if you like your plan and total health care for no money you can keep it along with dozens of obama style pipe dreams. You can read about them. It was a very long list. But alas, corruption and infighting brought zero promises kept and then what a surprise, the communists took away every civil right and ruled with an iron fist, meaning rape, torture and murder. Reagan tried to stop it with the opponents who were called contras. The commies were eventually booted out but guess what? Good old George Bush put Ortega back in 2006. He was a fully converted supporter of the USA by then. We have been supporting the country ever since with a lot of money and plenty of programs. In other words, everything in the film is a lie but as a film it is pretty well made and enjoyable to watch. Liman admitted it was all lies and too bad few will ever read that.
