American Made (Official Thread) Tom Cruise laundering pilot movie directed by Doug Liman

[FlyRy]

Friend saw the rough cut last summer, when the working title was Mena. He liked it, but he's biased on this, I thought the previews were predictable and cliche, and I am just weary of these types of movies, with no real emotional center, just kind of lifestyle porn, and "isn't this crazy"??? exactly what Godling is saying.

They mythologize these people, and construct a reality where there are no real consequences for their actions, in this kind of increasingly irritating type of movie, and tv show. It's all swagger and no heart, all good looks and charm. I don't even really want to see this, I remember reading all about scumbag Barry Seal in George Jung's book in high school. Glad he was executed in New Orleans for being an informer, so I hope they don't miss that part.

That was such a W.O.A.T. title

Oh yeah, if you've seen the trailer you've seen every plot development in the movie come by. So if you've seen the trailer the movie has almost nothing surprising to offer either.

I don't know how the hell he can be such an effortless movie star. "

Scientific techonology :getmarriedbrehs:

Been waiting for this since it was Mena. I thought we were going to have some Clinton fukkery in here

Movie was cool. From the trailer, I thought that the wife was going to be annoying, but she was good like most of the characters in it

Story felt light, but the performances held it up

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

can't wait to see it.

Barry Seal was borderline conspiracy theorist material years ago. ...now theres a feature film

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

dope, good watch

I wish they showed some titties

This is just a movie capitalizing on the information that Cocaine Cowboys (and probably declassified documents) has put into the mainstream. Narcos is doing the same thing. This is like the 4th in line of rehashes.

What really irks me is Tom Cruise gets to play some white guy with a pilot's license who smuggled drugs "Yeah! this is cool! He made $10,000 a flight!"

You show a black guy or a mexican guy with no real opportunities and they turn to smuggling/selling drugs and they're destroying the fabric of the US. fukk this Hollywood cleansing.

He was making 600,000 a flight one way
He was making more on the flip side
Started doing it once a week
Then started it doing it more often
Eventually needed a team to help him
He was probably making millions a day

I don't give a fukk if you're black, white or purple. That shyt is dope to me.

Tony Montana got a lot of love and he was Cuban

 

[OJ Simpsom]

Really dope movie. Reminded me of Blow. Gonna watch that next.

I get it fam, it is dope. That money is incredible.

But I'm saying, you tell that same story about blacks or Mexicans w/ dope or Asians with prostitutes all of a sudden hes not a hero he's a no good criminal.

Edit: Tony didn't get love, that movie bombed and he wasn't really Cuban he was white friendly like Ricky Ricardo.
