Description

Tom Cruise reunites with his Edge of Tomorrow director, Doug Liman, in an international escapade based on the outrageous, true exploits of a hustler and pilot recruited to run one of the biggest covert operations in U.S. history. Based on an incredible true story of the CIA's biggest secret, American Made will remind you: It’s not a crime if you're doing it for the good guys….

Title says it all ... boring, stretches the truth, and Tom Cruise was just too wrong for this part. Mess up the entire storyline by having him play the lead character, and the added embellishments on the actual events makes it a faux true story. Just a drag of a movie, seriously. Definitely would never watch the movie for free, it is that bad.

Fun movie

I enjoy movies that are based on true events. Of course when Hollywood gets their hands on it it’s hard to tell how much of the events are accurate. Either way it’s a fun movie to watch.

American Made reminds me of Martin Scorsese's The Aviator because Tom Cruis's main character is a pliot and that circles around me forever. However American Made is fantastic and a good crime film very entertaining and funny either way this movie takes it too seriously and ads to much storytelling but entertaining crime movie since Ocean's eleven.

Tom Crusie best acting to Date!!!

Tom might have had his issues with his other life but put that aside he's a good actor/performer. This act is his best to date. Even if the story is twisted alot. I still see this as an award winner for you Tom. Can't say I agree with his political or scientific fealings you have but who gives a !@#$. its your life. shut up and watch the Film.

So It Wasn't Tom Cruise At His Best! And It Wasn't 100 % Based on Iran Contra Scandal! I Think Ronald regan Would Rotate In His Grave If It Had! This I Feel Did Qualify As Great!!! It Was Tom Cruise Semi Every Man Role Here That Made Things Endearing! American Made Worked On A Moral Vaccue!!!

It ok. The 86% on teh tomatometer is a stretch. I have seen much better films with scores in the 50's and 60's. Reviewers saying its the best universal film ever are off their rocker or they have only seen some really bad films up until seeing this one. Again, its ok. The best way I could put it...its a forgettable film.

Fantastic

If the movie was not based on true events it would make for a great story. Since it is based on true events it makes me angry that our largest crook in the country is our own government. To do what they did without recourse and to throw people away like trash is a shame. Makes me wonder about how much we don't hear about and the consequences that have no accountability.

I came in expecting it was the typical drug smuggling movie that’s been made a million times, but boy was I wrong. I remember watching Cocaine Cowboys and they talked about this pilot that turned on the cartel. Had no idea that was what this movie was about. It was awesome and Tom Cruise’s charisma makes Barry Seal a really like-able guy. I watched this movie over and over again. Most of these bad reviews are based on Tom’s religion and that’s a shame because this is a great movie. Truly underrated.

Great Film

Is not really great anymore. Then you watch a film like this that reminds you how effortlessly Cruise makes acting seem. He is doing his Matthew M. impression and it works. His southern accent is a bit off, but the movie was like a different version of ‘Dope’ with Johnny Depp from years back. That film was in a whole different level than this movie stakes it place. But I have been back and forth with Tom Cruise after being overwhelmed with his shear volume of work. This is probably closer to a 4 star review; but the story was another good retelling of an infamous time that was not over acted nor boring. The transformation of the types of roles that Cruise has generally played into a more timeless actor; is very hard for most. I am glad to see another story that is made much better with at least one excellent actor or actress.

American Made: Great movie, but fictitious.

The real story about Barry Seal would take a whole season of one-hour episodes. This movie merely takes the idea of Barry Seal and creates a fictitious story about him, but it's historical fiction; truthiness wrapped up in a story. We get an idea of who the real Barry Seal was, and we get a taste of the huge mess in which he was caught-up. It's dumbed down and summarized enough that the average person might believe they know about Seal. The real Seal was far more interesting than this cardboard cut-out of him. He was working for the CIA back as far as 1958, involved in operations in Cuba and Central America long before the Iran-Contra operations began. There are alleged links to the Kennedy Assassination as pilot of a "getaway plane" from Dallas that day. He had stood trial and gotten off due to technicalities long before the events of the movie. By the time of the Iran/Contra scandal, Seal was a seasoned veteran of CIA operations and drug smugglers, and a familiar face and name to the US Justice System, as well as to power players in Washington, D.C.
Seal's assassins were Columbians, but they claimed to be taking orders from Ollie North, on behalf of GHW Bush, who wanted Seal out of the way for a number of reasons. But all that would not have fit neatly into a single movie. The story in this movie uses Seal as a character, and uses some of his exploits, but the timeline is nothing like the real one, and Seal's 28 year affiliation with the CIA is ignored.
Despite all that, a lot of actual history is used, and a significant amount of research went into the making of the story, not to mention the archival footage alone. I think the movie well expresses the central tenet: "it ain't a crime if you're doing it for the good guys." Seal was of no value to anyone if he only worked for the good guys. His value was specificially that he knew all the players, good and bad, on a first-name basis. He could hook you up with the most powerful people in the world. The movie alludes to this and makes a good story of it.
I applaud the makers of the movie for showing clearly and unambiguously that our own leaders are not clean and untainted by the actions of the underworld, but that it's often hard to say where one side stops and another starts. That alone makes it a worthwhile effort. That they were able to tell this story in an entertaining way is amazing. I think most people will come away from this either confirming their beliefs about a system gone very wrong, or else changing their beliefs in our government and coming to understand that our system has been broken beyond repair for a very, very long time. Bravo for that. Cruise is great in the role, seemingly a perfect fit, even if he's nothing like Barry. I'm not a TC fan, so that's saying a lot. I'm just glad this movie got made, inaccuracies be damned! Its spirit is what counts, and that comes across full-bore.

Dont get me wrong, i loved watching it, but as i have time and again after watching a Tom Cruise movie i couldn't shake the feeling of de ja vu as if I'm watching a rerun, making me feel like the experience was a waste of time.
This time i think i finally managed to put my finger on the why—Cruise makes well crafted cookie cutter action flicks. Nothing wrong with that, i love action flicks as much as the next guy, but i dont like watching the same action flick over and over.
Or maybe i'm simply getting old and grumpy..

I have to say this movie didn’t have a dull moment. The amount of cash this guy made was insane, I’m really surprised he didn’t hide it better.
He traded airline piloting for a short lived adventure.

If I hadn't viewed this film after the first three series of NarcosI'd probably have given this a higher score. This was all a bit lightweight. An honest Tom Cruise film but nothing more than that. I wanted this to be better but it just fell away for me. I'd recommed people hire it, you will only need to see it the once.

Yes, you have Tom Cruise, the action superstar phenom in this movie but, the movie is lacking a ton of substance. If all of Tom Cruise’s movie were like this, he would be a B rate actor. Even Tom needs a movie storyline to help him make it a GREAT movie and this one failed him. It is a very average movie.

A highly romaticized depiction of the life of Barry Seal, TWA pilot turned CIA-informant/Medellin Cartel drugrunner. Film highlights include: strong acting performances (notably, Sarah Wright, who plays Barry Seal's wife), high production value cinematography, an amazing soundtrack and great overall color tone. Film suffers from: choppy storytelling largely from "breaks" in the narrative where Cruise/Seal talks to the camera, and an overall lack of transitions from scene to scene. I found the film highly enjoyable and will entertain anyone interested in true crime stories as well as aviation legends. It is worth the rental. 4.25/5 STARS

The film cannot reconcile the absolute wake of depravity, murder and societal destruction "Barry Seals" contributes to. So, rather than 'bog' the movie down with such un-cool effects on all around him, the high art of cinema indulges the grotesque indulgence of corrupt power, wealth and sex. Yahoo!... I am so entertained.
If people enjoy this movie, they ought to take a long look in the mirror.

The original working title was "Mena", but it's apparent like many Hollywood scripts it was rewritten by the CIA to glamorize Seal, who was in real life a drunken fat slob weighing close to 300 lbs. He smuggled tons of cocaine into Mena for the CIA, an operation authorized by VP George H. W. Bush who Chaired the NSC (making him CIA Director Bill Casey's boss) and protected by corrupt AR state police and prosecutors by order of Governor William Jefferson Clinton. The drugs were distributed to 100 US cities to raise cash for Contra death squad terrorists in Honduras and Nicaragua, a direct violation of Congress' Boland Act. The irony of the 1992 presidential elections were our two corrupt monopoly parties nominated two mega-felons for President and both had ascended to the WH. That, and much more is missing from this film. Americans ought to know this.

It’s a shame, the true story of Barry Seals could be a 3 hour block buster. Watch Cocaine Cowboys Reloaded for the real story. This film stunk, Tom what’s really going on? Do you need to talk? Jump on my couch? Hook me up to one of your time traveling truth telling machines so I could give you the hard truth? Even Mork would throw a flag on your play.

I see a lot of star ⭐️ for this flick and it's awfully bad. This isn't " fact" based. Is so far from the truth I'm really disappointed 😔. Imho TC is- has lost his edge. Maybe the Scientology years are getting the better of him. Just awful 🤦🏻‍♀️🙈
