Silver Screen in 2017 {American Made}

After recently completing Narcos Season 3 (AKA the season less Pablo Escobar) I needed some time between cartel stories and cartel movies of sorts. This is the story of Barry Seal and the flying of contraband between South America and the former Democratic United States of America. Now they are not so United right?



Tom Cruise has actually had some hits in recent years, Jack Reacher, Mission Impossible, Edge of Tomorrow, lets just forget the (apparent) dogs breakfast The Mummy reboot.

I even really enjoyed Rock of Ages, so much so I think I owe the DVD somewhere.

Tom is the main star in this film and really it's a glamorous look at the drug trade and an interesting insight into the extension of the already explored Narcos world. This time just 100% English and no Spanish.

Sarah Wright is stunning and plays Cruise's wife Lucy Seal, also starring Jesse Plemons from Friday Night Lights plays the local sheriff and Jayma Mays from Glee (where the F has she been).

It's not a perfect film, it really does make this lifestyle look easy and not risky at all, however the abrupt end puts that to an end.

Cruise despite all his flaws is choosing most decent films lately and this was enjoyable. I give it a solid 3 Stars.
