Our Score

It really doesn’t seem that long since I saw the last Mission: Impossible film (Rogue Nation, 2015), and I praised it for its ability to utilise the tried and tested formula of its predecessors, whilst being a fresh and exhilarating entry to the franchise. That’s something this series continues to do effortlessly with Fallout, which is without doubt one of the best entries. You can’t say that for many other franchises six movies in. [Read more…]

Tom Cruise Shares The First Pic From Top Gun 2

By Leave a Comment

For quite a few years there’s been talks of a second Top Gun movie. Indeed, it looked like it was nearing production with the director of the original, Tony Scott, at the helm. However, when Scott died the whole project got delayed.

Now though Tom Cruise is back on set for Top Gun: Maverick and to prove it he’s shared the first image from the movie, taken on the first day of shooting. Not much is known about the plot of the film, although there has been talk about it being another competition film, possibly between the new generation of drones and the old school fighter pilots like Cruise’s Maverick.

We should hear a lot more about it before it’s released in cinemas in July 2019. Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy) is directing the movie.

Barry Seal (Tom Cruise) is working as a pilot for TWA in the late 70s when she’s spotted by CIA agent Monty ‘Schafer’ (Domhnall Gleeson). Schafer wants Barry to fly reconnaissance missions in Central America, where the Soviet Union is backing Communist militias. His success at that leads to missions where he acts of the CIA courier to General Noriega in Panama, as well as helping to arm the anti-Communist Nicaraguan Contras in Honduras.

All this leads him to some dodgy places, including into the sphere of the Medellin Cartel, who get Barry to help them smuggle drugs into the US on his return trips. The CIA turn a blind eye to his side job as long as he still gets results. However, not every US law enforcement agency is as keen to ignore Barry’s smuggling. [Read more…]

American Made (Cinema Review)

Starring: Tom Cruise, Domhnall Gleeson, Sarah Wright

Running Time: 115 Minutes
UK Release Date: 25 August 2017
BBFC Certificate: 15

Audiences seem to lap up ‘rise and fall’ movies, where an ambitious everyman answers the call to adventure and embarks on a journey that brings them wealth and power. But as The Notorious B.I.G song goes ‘the more money we come across, the more problems we see’ and that is definitely the case with this film.

American Made tells the ‘true story’ of Barry Seal (Tom Cruise), an airline pilot who is recruited by CIA agent Schafer (Domhnall Gleeson) to take aerial recognisance photos of communist insurgence in South America. That then leads to him smuggling drugs and guns for all sides during the late 70’s and early 80s. [Read more…]
