American Made is a smart, nervy film, a very modern entertainment made with energy, style and a fine sense of humor that keeps us amused until gradually, almost imperceptibly, the laughter starts to stick in our throats. Read full review

Cruise is on top form in a based-on-fact thriller that overcomes its familiar trappings with audacious details and flat-out pacing. Read full review

American Made points out an unfortunate time in our history when government shenanigans ran amok internationally and people did bad things in the name of greed and power. But hoo-boy, does Tom Cruise have fun with it. Read full review

There’s no shortage of “Goodfellas” wannabes out there, but American Made is a serviceably entertaining one with consistent action and hearty chuckles along the way. Read full review

Liman knows how to keep the convoluted, almost impossibly far-fetched story on the rails, without losing our attention, and he adds many details that will bring a smile. Read full review

Cruise rides the Breaking Bad and Narcos train, only not as well as either. Read full review

Even while we’re watching it, a funny feeling sets in. Lots of things happen in American Made, but it’s as if the frenetic pace is to keep us from thinking about what we’re watching. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A return to form for Tom Cruise breaking out from his usual tenpoles. The film is full of humour, lively characters and most importantly shows one's love for a family. It should not be left unmentioned that Doug Liman became a reliable talent in the industry. Loved the cinematography and christophe becks soudtrack. It could be said that they (Liman, Cruise and Beck) has continued deliverying ther goods after they started their collaboration on Edge of Tomorrow or should i say Live: Die: Repeat. Highly Recommended.… Expand

Tőlem megérdemelte a film az 5 csillagot. Tom Cruiset nem tartom nagyra, de ebben a filmben nagyon jót alakított és illett hozzá a szerep.

Tom Cruiset nem tartom nagyra, de ebben a filmben nagyon jót alakított és illett hozzá a szerep. Nem számítottam arra, hogy nagy produkció lesz, de szerencsére tévedtem. Ami folyamatosan lekötött a filmben, az az, hogy ezt a sok útvonalat, üzletet, cserét hogyan tudta fejben tartani és megtervezni úgy, hogy lényegében mindenkinek dolgozott Escobartól kezdve, a CIA-n át a Fehér Házig. Érdemes megnézni, szórakoztató film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. BARRY SEAL : AMERICAN TRAFFIC
Ce film est divertissant, je le conseille au Fan de la série "NARCOS" actuellement en tête de liste..
Il révèle une parti de l'ascension au sommet de Pablo Escobar en mettant en avant Barry Seal un Capitaine qui a roulé dans l'argent plus que beaucoup de monde.
Un film Biopic, Thriller et Policier. Hors des sentiers battus par rapport à ce que l'on a pu voir avec les films sur Steve Jobs le patron Apple.
Le film Barry Seals s'en sort bien. Nous pouvons être au plus près de l'ascension du trafic de Narcotrafiquant tout en menant de loin les affaires de la CIA une agence gouvernementale[spoiler] aux stratégies particulières qui nous font ressortir la tristesse du monde dans lequel on vit [/spoiler] . [spoiler] L'agence n'est certainement pas la seule, mais elle est glissée dans le film comme le grain de sable. [/spoiler] En tout cas il est amusant de voir la vie d'un homme qu'on ne connaît pas pour une entreprise qui existe encore aujourd'hui, mais comme appartenant à une des plus grandes associations de "bandit".
Une histoire plein de retournement où je ne me suis pas ennuyé, mais c'est une histoire que les jeunes enfants n'en comprendront surement pas le sent direct.
Un petit 1 pour la musique, j'ai apprécié le choc des décennies Si vous Aimé les histoires d'homme je pense que le risque d'être en dans une salle sombre quelque heure peux se transformé en bon moment..
À tous les fans de la série NARCOS FONCER!… Expand

Tom Cruise puts the nail in his latest film called American Made. While that isn't saying much, the movie takes in a completely different experience one would not expect to see in a while.

The story is very interesting, but this movie is made in such a way that you never really have time to care for any of the characters. 65/100

Absolute trash! Never been so bored watching a film. It’s a film about Tom Cruise playing Tom Cruise.
