Anytime you see a script that says something like...It's likeScreamfeeder always says, don't write scripts for a-listers, write scripts that create a-listers. Pratt being an example.
Anytime you see a script that says something like...
Rugged Male (30-35) with a hard stare and scruffy beard (think Chris Pratt)....just fucking burn it and move on.
Also, I'm sure I never said that before on here, but it's correct.
Cruise rarely makes a bad films, Im not sure what actor has a better record over the last 20-40 years besides Jack Nicholson.

Tom Cruise doesn't make good movies. He isn't a good actor. Movie Studios make large popcorn flicks with him in it, and everytime I see him on screen it's like I am watching every other movie he has been in. The only good movie I remember with Tom Cruise in it was The Color of Money when I actually forgot for a minute it was Tom Cruise.
Now, take someone like Tom Hanks with Forrest Gump, or Russel Crow with a Beautiful Mind, and then watch them, in any other movie, and you completely forgot the actor and care only about the character. That is what makes a good actor. When you don't even care or know who the actor is.
Tom Cruise doesn't have that gift. He's the same in every single movie.
Collateral and Born on the Fourth of July.
But yeah, he doesn't often show much range.
It's fucked up because his more Sci-Fi stuff I don't really love, but I can watch it 10 times and not be bored.I love Tom Cruise movies because they're almost always enjoyable. Especially in the last 5 - 10 years he has made some great popcorn flicks. I don't give a shit how versatile he may or may not be, because his movies are fun to watch.
Given how critics are panning this, I'll probably end up loving it because I don't have a joyless, cold heart.
