American Made
Barry Seal, a TWA pilot, is recruited by the CIA to provide reconnaissance on the burgeoning communist threat in Central America and soon finds himself in charge of one of the biggest covert CIA operations in the history of the United States that spawned the birth of the Medellin cartel and eventually almost brought down the Reagan White House with the Iran Contra scandal.
Critic Reviews
- " Worth watching to see Tom Cruise as good as he's been in years. " – Brent McKnight
- " American Made is one of the best kinds of biopics: A tale that makes me want to explore the story further and find out more about its subject. Even if only half of this film is true to life, it's still 100% crazy. " – Damond Fudge
- " Tom Cruise's charisma makes Barry Seal a captivating character, presenting in his story the most brazen side of the American dream. " – Yasser Medina
