Review of American Made (2017) by Steven A — 25 Aug 2017

All that being said, American Made was actually a pretty decent film. It had its comedy elements (which would be funnier if you didn't watch the trailer beforehand, as the trailer spoiled most of the decent jokes), mixed in with a decent and well-paced plot.

A couple of niggling errors (such as the weird camera movements) and the lack of a strong female lead (Lucy (Sarah Wright), Barry's wife, simply goes along with everything Barry says and never really gets a say (and when she does demand kitchen utilities he simply throws money at her, yet another poor female lead in a Tom Cruise movie)) do deter this film from being anything more impressive, but it's still a fun watch.
