Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Prashast Singh AMERICAN MADE is simply an outstanding, entertaining, fun action movie. It is something you don't expect biopics to be: funny. The film packs a solid punch with its top notch action sequences, cinematography and funny sequences apart from a tight screenplay, razor-sharp editing and a lot more that needs to be actually seen than read.Tom Cruise is very impressive in the portrayal of Barry Seal. He makes his presence felt throughout the film. The film is screenplay driven but still he carries it almost alone on his shoulders. Rest of the cast is also impressive. The film is shot very well; the technical aspects are top notch. The locales showcased are just a pure treat to watch. Background score is also immersive. Another major plus is the action. This film redefines the action genre by giving a lot of cool action blocks but without being violent. That's different given the theme of this film!While not very suspenseful or tension-filled, AMERICAN MADE is still a purely entertaining and memorable biographical action comedy which is a must see especially if looking for some realistic fun.

bryangary65 A film that keeps your attention, with all the skullduggery and that's just the American government!As always Cruise is watchable, and gives his all.

grantss 1978. Barry Seal, an airline pilot, is recruited by the CIA to fly special transport missions in Central America. Initially it is a matter of information-for-supplies but ultimately he ends up being a drug transporter for Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel and supplying anti-Communist groups, including the Nicaraguan Contras, with weapons.Entertaining. Told in a very light-hearted, fun way it is a roller-coaster ride of humour and action. The humour stems largely from the ineptness and unintended consequences of the actions of the CIA and US government. If told in a more serious way, this would have been a very damning indictment of the US's involvement in Central America in the 1980s, and a powerful examination of how the CIA and US government abuse the loyalty of their own citizens. However, the story is told as a comedy, with absurdity piled upon absurdity, so difficult to believe. Just as well, as, in actual fact, much of what is described is fictional. In particular, the real Barry Seal was hardly a paragon of virtue and only ended up working with the US Government once he was facing jail time.Still, an entertaining story, regardless of its accuracy.

jasontheterrible Doug Liman had to atone for the Jason Bourne film which was too right wing with this: a completely made up left wing distortion to trash Reagan. WAPO, NYT and others spent months on the real story and concluded Reagan and the CIA never knew about a drug connection. The Sandinista regime was not only installed by the Soviets, the president Daniel Ortega promised if you like your plan and total health care for no money you can keep it along with dozens of obama style pipe dreams. You can read about them. It was a very long list. But alas, corruption and infighting brought zero promises kept and then what a surprise, the communists took away every civil right and ruled with an iron fist, meaning rape, torture and murder. Reagan tried to stop it with the opponents who were called contras. The commies were eventually booted out but guess what? Good old George Bush put Ortega back in 2006. He was a fully converted supporter of the USA by then. We have been supporting the country ever since with a lot of money and plenty of programs. In other words, everything in the film is a lie but as a film it is pretty well made and enjoyable to watch. Liman admitted it was all lies and too bad few will ever read that.
