American Made's fast-and-loose attitude with its real-life story mirrors the cavalier -- and delightfully watchable -- energy Tom Cruise gives off in the leading role.

It skitters and jumps, shivers and boot-scoots, never, ever sitting still. You could say it's like "Blow," on well, blow. But there's a breezy sunniness to this film, which looks like a faded snapshot reclaimed from an '80s photo album. Oct 6, 2017 | Full Review…

One assumes that Cruise got this film made, yet he's a terrible fit for the role: he's always done his best work portraying smart, insightful characters in dramatic stories, but Seal was a yahoo whose sorry escapades are played here for cynical laughs. Oct 5, 2017 | Full Review…

Without realizing it, American Made is a wincing metaphor for Tom Cruise's movie career-which, come to think of it, is exclusively and embarrassingly American made, too. Oct 2, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

The impetuous pace of the film is at one with its moral shamelessness, and, without thinking, we sign up for both. Sep 29, 2017 | Full Review…

[Tom] Cruise gives his energetic all to the role, but he, too, doesn't seem to be quite aware that Seal was morally compromised far beyond the shallow confines of this film. Sep 29, 2017 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

A great summer film that deserves to be the 2017 effort from Tom Cruise that everyone remembers, for all the right reasons. Oct 10, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

American Made occasionally amuses and provokes a hearty guffaw or two by its end. As a biopic it's insubstantial, but as a Tom Cruise vehicle it's alright.. Sep 26, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Both [Doug] Liman and [Tom] Cruise saw that humor in [Barry] Seal's operations and project it well. His squirming out of life threatening situations is hilarious. Sep 20, 2019 | Full Review…

Just when it seemed as if we had lost Tom Cruise to the ranks of paycheck-cashing automatons no longer interested in applying themselves on screen, along comes American Made to show there's still some life left in the maverick actor. Jul 21, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Cruise has always been a monolith of quintessential Americana, but with the aging cracks in his well-worn facade, he's been doing even more fascinating work. Jul 17, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
