014 Far and Away (1992)

It’s a testament to the incredibly deep filmography of Tom Cruise that Far and Away is as great as it is, and yet no one talks about it among Cruise’s best films! Looking down the barrel of a nearly 2.5 hour Irish epic may be intimidating, but #CruiseClub hasn’t let us down so far, and this is no exception. Joining us on this episode is Michael Domanico, the host of the Not Her Again podcast. We discuss whether or not the central love story (as portrayed by the newly-married Cruise and Nicole Kidman) works, the surprising — and very welcomed — humor of a movie like this, and what the ideal tactics for a land grab would be.
