American Made
TBC
The CIA. The White House. Pablo Escobar. Tom Cruise plays them all...
DIRECTOR Doug Liman
STARRING Tom Cruise, Sarah
Wright, Domhnall Gleeson
After a quiet period
by his own prolific
standards, Tom
Cruise has been absolutely
everywhere of late. He followed
up last year’s brutal but
brilliant Jack Reacher: Never
Go Back with the action-
packed The Mummy (which
you can still catch in cinemas
if you’re really quick). He also
recently signed on the dotted
line for the Top Gun sequel
and is currently filming MI:6
– Mission Impossible. Phew!
If that wasn’t enough,
Cruise has also got a new
movie out this month, the
fabulous biographical crime
thriller American Made.
FAST FACTS
25
AUG
American Made
is Tom’s third
biographical outing
following 1989’s
Born on the Fourth
of July and 2008’s
Valkyrie. It’s
also the second
time Doug Liman
and Cruise have
teamed up – their
first collaboration
was the underrated
2014 sci-fi actioner
Edge of Tomorrow.
Check it out if you
haven’t already!
Helmed by Doug Liman (the
director behind such action
classics as The Bourne Identity
and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, it tells
the astonishing true story of
Barry Seal (Cruise), a pilot/
smuggler/CIA informant
who ended up embarrassing
the Ronald Reagan White
House (you’ll have to watch
the film to find out why).
Co-starring Domhnall
Gleeson and Jayma Mays,
and featuring a script by Gary
Spinelli (a relative newcomer to
the game, but someone whom
there’s a heck of a lot of buzz
about), this has all the makings
of another Cruise classic.
Tom Cruise – a cinematic
supremo and most definitely
American made. This is very
much one to watch.

Domhnall was gutted that
Tom was beating him in the
high trousers stakes!
