AMERICAN MADE
Film review by Fiore
This film will serve only to display the hypocrisy of
the Hollywood Liberal Looney Left (H3L), who praise star Tom Cruise for this
performance, while demeaning his performance in THE MUMMY, when he is
essentially playing the same character.
What begins as a film utilizing revisionist history to create an anti-hero
out of a rogue, turns into demagoguery on Republican Presidents and
America.
The film divulges its story at a time just before the
Iran-Contra scandal, when General Noriega, Pablo Escobar and Oliver North were
all coming to power. Barry Seal was a
commercial airline pilot, who opted to chuck the friendly skies to run drugs
and then weapons to South America before he was recruited by the CIA to help
fund a South American revolution. The
film stars Tom Cruise; Domhnall Gleeson; Sarah Wright’ and E. Roger Mitchell .
The hypocrisy shows in the trade press for the
film. Critics are salivating over
Cruise’s performance, yet it is a carbon copy of the persona he offered in THE
MUMMY. Admittedly one character
is fictitious while the other is based on an actual person, but he deliver and
manner Cruise creates are the same. THE
MUMMY was worth repeated viewings; this one, is not.
I remember the incidents surrounding Seals well. They were not funny, but rather bordered on tragic. Yet all the events in AMERICAN MADE are ‘Hollywoodized” and the film is played for
laughs. Cruise plays Seal as a lovable
rogue, often bewildered by his circumstances.
This is the same way he played Nick Morton.
The reason the trades are favorable to this
performance is, at the film’s conclusion, the Hollywood leftist agenda rumbles
in with snide, and unnecessary comments on the two former presidents and one
final insult to America.
Mel Gibson, in AIR AMERICA tackled this topic with
a little more style, and a little more panache.
Director Doug Liman teamed with Cruise before on EDGE OF TOMORROW;
unfortunately, AMERICAN MADE does not capture any of the duo’s past glory.
