This week, a rare Tom Cruise character-actor performance in Doug Liman’s stylish satire American Made. Is this the Gen-X Forrest Gump? Who expected a Liman/Cruise movie to be this different from Edge of Tomorrow? Unanswered Questions: Is there value in so comprehensively fictionalizing a true story? Does American Made work for audiences which aren’t familiar with the Reagan-era war on drugs? How does the Tom Cruise movie-star persona help (or hinder) the satirical intent of this film?
