A good movie

Following 'The Mummy' which turned out to be a huge failure, back in 2017, Tom Cruise released afterwards this movie and since it was directed by Doug Liman, I was quite eager to check it out. Eventually, it will probably not become a cult-classic like 'Edge of Tomorrow', also directed by Liman and starring Cruise, but it was still quite enjoyable. In my case, I actually just saw recently 'Narcos' so it was pretty neat to see a movie focusing on Barry Seal, a American CIA agent involved in the Medellin cartel. The first interesting thing was that, in 'Narcos', Barry Seal only showed up in 1 episode  so he was apparently not considered as a major figure in this drug cartel but, if you would believe this movie, he actually had a huge impact. On the other hand, you could arhuge this cartel was huge and this movie decided to focus on this American guy while the Neflix focused on Pablo Escobar. Anyway, the damned thing was well made and quite entertaining but, to be honest, it was nothing really groundbreaking. At least, it was pretty neat that to see Tom Cruise tackling something a little more risky than his usual work  but i was still too shallow for my taste. Indeed, what was Barry Seal's drive behing his actions? The taste of adventure? Greed? It was never clear to me. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Tom Cruise's or Doug Liman's work.
