Review of Cocktail (1988) by Steven1981 — 26 Apr 2020
Cocktail is a romance drama film directed in 1988 by Roger Donaldson and stars Tom Cruise, Kelly Lynch, Bryan Brown and Elisabeth Shue.... Cocktail is an old film that I remember growing up and I can certainly say it's not the best film I'll be honest but it's fun and there are much worser movies.
The short fight scenes involving Tom Cruise and Bryan Brown are great and a few others later. I like how Tom Cruise jumps from one woman to another and is the desire of every woman which is totally unrealistic and unbelievable.
The acting isn't great but Tom Cruise carries the film in my opinion with help from Bryan Brown and I didn't find any of the characters annoying except the odd one or two. The bar scenes with Tom Cruise are great and learning how to flip bottles and the soundtrack is good except from a Jamaican song or something in the film.
The romance aspects are good even if some bits cheesy and there's obviously sex scenes even if you don't see much nudity. Tom Cruise basically plays a bartender and gets taught by Doug Coughlin (Bryan Brown) how to be a bartender.
Later on Tom Cruise starts a bartender business in Jamaica and gets a girl pregnant then cheats on her and gets back with her and then becomes a father at the end. Good enough film in my opinion and Kelly Lynch looked hot.
