May 23, 20223 yr Hell yes. The return of Kittridge, one of the smarmiest antagonists of the 90s. I wish our society would stop shitting on Tom Cruise. The man just wants to give you some great action movies where he's the one actually jumping off shit and risking his life. Edited May 23, 20223 yr by mdmost

I presume that shot near the end of him jumping off motorcycle, in the air, with a parachute is actually him. And why not let him do it if he wants? The studio has him sign a release, takes out a massive life insurance policy and let him have is fun. Everyone wins.

May 23, 20223 yr Holy shit, they brought Kittridge back. That's awesome. I am a Vanessa Kirby enthusiast, so good to see her back as well.

May 23, 20223 yr Not a single franchise in movie history that has gone 7/8 installments and actually gotten better as they have gone on really incredible, actually
May 23, 20223 yr I’m always there opening weekend and forget the movie a day later. Dunno why the MI movies don’t stick with me but I presumably enjoy them.

I'm a little the same way. The upside is it makes the 5th or 6th time I watch it just as good as the first. One of the last overseas trips I took before Covid hit had the entire MI catalog as an option. I started at #3 and just kept going.

May 23, 20223 yr wait, 2023? I don’t understand. the movie looks finished or close to finished. why a year?
May 23, 20223 yr 18 minutes ago, longhornmatt said: Agreed. He looked like a JAG movie running prospect in that Risky Business / All the Right Moves / Legend era. Mid 3 star at best. Then by Rain Man you start to see the potential, the improved posture and smoother gait, but he hasn’t put it all together yet. Low floor high ceiling 4 star who needs development. But then The Firm hits, and it’s just mesmerizing. The intensity of the facial expression conveying the urgency of the fight or flight instinct is expertly juxtaposed with the grace and efficiency of a gazelle like stride. Poetry in motion. That’s a clear 5 star 1st rounder with upper management written all over him. But what really excited the scouts when they watched his film there was how he demonstrated the kind of versatility that only the generational prospects possess. He showed he can run in suits and loafers or casual wear. He can run carrying a briefcase or freeloading, for speed or for power, as the chaser or the chased. You also see him master the ever tricky “wind in the hair” problem that beguiled so many actors before him. He achieves the ideal level of waviness without venturing into unkempt territory. Truly a groundbreaking performance. 1st ballot moving running hall of fame type stuff, up there with the T-1000 chasing down cars on foot. That post is the very definition of surly
May 24, 20223 yr You can really see the influence of Hoffman from marathon man in cruise’s runs. Probably asked for lessons when filming rain man. No coincidence that The Firm was not long after rain man. Edited May 24, 20223 yr by Pato del Muerto

May 24, 20223 yr The Big Picture podcast has a Tom Cruise hall of fame episode up today. From 86 to 2005 or so he didn't fucking miss. It's a good listen
