American Made is a 2017 American action comedy film directed by Doug Liman, written by Gary Spinelli and starring Tom Cruise, Domhnall Gleeson, Sarah Wright, Alejandro Edda, Mauricio Mejía, Caleb Landry Jones and Jesse Plemons.

Although this is now increasingly hard to imagine, not so long ago Hollywood’s pseudo-liberal bien-pensants viewed the CIA and its agents not as noble defenders of Western civilisation whose every leaked statement must be treated as holy scripture, nor did its actions at spreading democracy worldwide enjoy unquestionable support even when it involved partnering with shadowy figures involved in terrorism or siphoning…More

"Los hombres, tal como son, se inclinan por naturaleza a ir en pos del dinero o del poder, y del poder porque vale tanto como el dinero." Ralph Waldo Emerson. Saludos amigos de Hive. En estos tiempos de cuarentena, como ya he mencionado en post anteriores, me he deleitado y espantado con una cantidad de películas, de entre las buenas que he encontrado y fascinado, creo no exagerar, fue "Barry Seal: Solo en América".…More
*Based on a true story, American Made was something of a sleeper hit for the never-aging Tom Cruise . Released just last year, it brought the events of a certain Barry Seal into the media spotlight. With the plethora of movies which I got to see in 2017, this one managed to slip through the net. So I was real glad to finally get around to checking it out this afternoon. With a top Hollywood A-lister carrying this ti…More
Hay películas que suelo tener que ver varias veces para terminar de comprender si me gustaron, o no, es decir a veces veo una película por primera vez y no me convence mucho pero cuando la veo por segunda y tercera veces me gusta y entretiene más, pues con American Made paso exactamente eso. Esta es una película que vi en el cine pocos días después de su estreno y que la verdad no me convenció mucho, no digo que la…More
Pablo Escobar, one of the most powerful criminals in Colombia and the world during a time when cocaine was a kind of magic powder capable of putting common men in high spheres of power, a powder that was the economic tool used to socially devastate a country like Colombia, but the question is how the hell did Pablo Escobar move his magic powder to the United States so easily, well the answer is very simple Barry Sea…More
There are movies that I usually have to see several times to figure out if I liked them or not, that is to say sometimes I see a movie for the first time and I am not very convinced but when I see it for the second and third times I like it and entertains me more, well, with American Made happens exactly that. This is a film that I saw in the cinema a few days after its premiere and that the truth did not convince m…More

I wonder if the success of Narcos had anything to do with why they made this movie. Since i mistrust Hollywood pretty much across-the-board (and Tom Cruise for the matter,) i suspect that yeah, maybe that was their test audience. It's a good story though and it is based a lot of the way in fact too. If you know anything about me by following this blog you already know that I appreciate non-fiction. *the Russians inf…More
Tom Cruise played in a movie with a syndicate of cocaine dealers he did not abolish, a stack of AK-47 rifles he never fired, and the FBI, CIA, DEA, to ATF were not one to work for. Still as cool as usual, but this time Cruise is not a secret agent or a reliable hero. Based on the true story, Barry Seal is the figure he played, a TWA airline pilot who was involved in an international scandal during the reign of Ronal…More
A very entertaining movie here. The 4k HDR is spectacular and the Dolby DTS:X sound is fantastic as well if you have surround sound setup in your theater. Definitely a great thrill ride from start to finish. One of Tom Cruise best movies in a while.More

Barry Seal: Sólo en América se basa en la historia real de un piloto de la CIA (Tom Cruise) que se duplicó como narcotraficante en la década de 1980. Esperar un lenguaje frecuente y fuerte ("joder", "mierda", etc.) y algunas situaciones sexuales, además de una breve desnudez (un hombre lunas de su familia, etc.). Para una película sobre drogas, no se muestra el consumo real de drogas; los personajes beben Y hay un a…More
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…More
Barry Seal is an infamous drug dealer whose exploits came to light when I was a young adult. The film recounts events from the 1970s and 1980s in Central America. The rise of communism and the secret US war to battle it led to the employment of some unsavory characters. Barry Seal was one of them. With a long history of drug trafficking (longer than suggested by the film), Seal was positioned to obtain surveillance…More

Spoiler-free review: Tom Cruise is back in the pilot seat (for real), sporting both charm and a bare arse (for real) in this true drug-smuggling story. Read MoreMore
