What film did you watch last night?

I had guests the other day and one is a Tom Cruise fan. She wanted to watch one of his films. We nearly watched the latest Midget Improbable Mission Impossible, but instead settled for Knight and Day.

My review: It lived down to expectations!

Edit: I need to learn to give-up on a film as soon as it becomes apparent it's rubbish (which in the case of G20 is within 5 mins of the beginning title sequence).

I gave up during the trailer. 😂

Personal taste: I find his "action" films (where he is proud of doing the stunts, etc.) dull and daft.

But he has done some films I enjoy, one example "American Made" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Made_(film) (not a true story but inspired by the life of Barry Seal)

Gladiator II.

Much like Gladiator really, but with even more obvious CGI.

Not the worst sequel out there, but still mediocre enough to make you wonder why they bothered.

Redeemed only by the rather pleasant Connie Nielsen.

5/10.

I had never heard of that one. i might suggest it to the fan of mighty micro man.

PS It has been removed from Netflix UK and costs £3.49 to rent on Prime. I will wait until I spot it on free to view!

Should have slipped Tropic Thunder on and see if they recognised him

Forgot it before but another Tom Cruise film I consider very worth watching is Minority Report - but Sci-Fi which some people enjoy more than others.

Ah yes, I quite enjoyed that one.

(And I did enjoy Top Gun at the time!)

The Birdcage with Robin Williams. Great writing and luxuriously OTT performances.
