Edge of tomorrow - he is fine in that perfect movie
Tropic Thunder - he is hilarious
rain man
the last samurai
minority report
magnolia - perfect fit for the role
He's great in Collateral. He plays great villains.
"Vanilla Sky", and his acting in it, is plain fantastic, I have to hand it to him.
you don't HAVE to hand it to Tom Cruise. You certainly CAN, but by no means are you required to.
Reacher - is a big scary man but the movie tries to hide that from you bc Tom is small and it’s funny.
You should read "all you need is kill". Edge of tomorrow butchered the book. The same happens with Minority Report.
It always bugs me when they make one of his books into a movie because there never is a reason to cut the important parts out. I would understand if the books were long, or had concepts that are too difficult to bring to the screen. Instead its cut because no one wants movies you have to think about.
The one silver lining I guess is that when people say "you really should read the book" with PKD stories they end up being so different that they really feal like a different story. They tend to not have the Green Lantern Effect where the movie ruins the original story for you.
