One thing about Tom Cruise in any role is that he can charm his way out of and into anything and this was no exception. Shit made me want to rewatch Narcos.

Crazy that this was real but a tad boring to watch as a film, despite the craziness actually occurring

Non gli avrei dato nemmeno una possibilità. In assoluto. Anche perché Tom cruise nel ruolo di un pilota s’é visto e rivisto quindi partiva già con il piede sbagliato. Poi mi hanno convinto però le riprese alla ‘documentario sgranato’ quindi gli ho dato una possibilità. E si è rivelato proprio un bel film anche molto comico
