I have no idea what this film is about and I'm largely 'Tom Cruise'd Out' but...Inarritu? My curiosity is piqued.
That guy is a certifiable madman. I'm there for that.

That being said, this movie looks terrible. I think both him and Spielberg are past their best before date and this’ll be a dud.
This is kind of my point. Like 30 years ago he managed to adapt Carlito's Way and Jurrasic Park into great films (with heavy involvement of the directors), and for the last 20+ years, he's been causing absolute mayhem.
I think we both agree he's past his best before date.

Absolutely. Also, it being promoted as a comedy gives me hope we may get another Tropic Thunder level performance from Cruise.

I felt like he almost played himself but with an accent, but American Made was fun and the movie looked great.

Alright, had to revisit his Tropic Thunder performance after posting this. Probably one of my favorite comedic performances ever:

I wish Cruise wasn't the face of a dangerous cult. Dude is insanely talented.

Tom Cruise is why we cant have nice things.

What's the last movie Cruise did that's a legitimate comedy that wasn't just a cameo like Tropic Thunder? Would it be Jerry Maguire? That was almost 30 years ago.

I thought The Mummy was pretty funny.

He was actually in a lot of Tropic Thunder. Just as much as McConaughey, Nolte or McBride. Just his make-up makes him feel like a cameo.
American Made not a straight comedy, but a fun return to his Jerry Maguire/Rain Main sort of charisma.
It will be good to see him in a non M:I movie again.

That is the antithesis of what I look for in a movie.

Thanks YouTube for the extreme compression. Looks fine I guess, the trailer doesn't really sell the hype but I assume they're going for the slow build.

The trailer could be a black screen that says "Christopher Nolan's next movie" and I would see it.
