American Made Movie Review
American Made is based on the true story of a CIA pilot (Tom Cruise) who doubled as a drug runner in the 1980s. Expect frequent strong language ("f--k," "s--t," etc.) and a few sexual situations, plus brief nudity (a man moons his family, etc.). For a film about drugs, not much actual drug use is shown; characters do drink. And there's a non-graphic car bombing, but otherwise violence is more referred to and discussed than shown. Still, the tension and stress of the high-wire act the main character walks might be too intense for kids. But the main issue for parents may be whether a film this ironic is right for their family. It takes a bluntly, hilariously cynical view of 1980s American foreign policy and secret operations, as well as of the war on drugs itself.
The film is directed by Doug Liman, producer and director, known for The Bourne Identity (2002), Edge of Tomorrow (2014) and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).
WHAT'S THE STORY?
Tom Cruise stars in AMERICAN MADE, a tense but funny, ironic look at the war on drugs and American covert operations in Central America in the '80s. Cruise plays a version of real-life pilot/convicted smuggler Barry Seal, who per the events portrayed in this film, gathered intelligence and ran guns (and eventually drugs) for the Reagan era government. Though each escalation seems more dangerous and insane, the inveterate thrill-seeker and risk-taker can't seem to help himself.
