American Made (2017)
Country: US/JAP/COL
Technical: col 115m
Director: Doug Liman
Cast: Tom Cruise, Domhnall Gleeson, Sarah Wright
Synopsis:
A TWA pilot in the 1970s is recruited by CIA to take aerial pictures over Nicaragua. Before long he is running arms for the Contras and cocaine for the Colombian cartels, and that is just the beginning...
Review:
So goes the true story of Barry Seal, the gringo that got things done, until he outlived his usefulness. Liman and Cruise play it quite rightly for kicks, projecting Seal as your archetypal American entrepreneur, amassing more wealth than he knew what to do with through working hard and using his wits. The star takes a break from his action man image and reveals a deft talent for comedy heroics in the Gable-Garner tradition.
