No, not so much Cruise himself, but his Scientology-background, and the organization itself. scientology took a lot of fire in recent months, and had some scandals about children fleeing from their parents ranking very high in the scientology hierarchy and seeked asylum with the police voluntarily ( the parents maybe will loose the right to raise them anymore). So their latest losses made them clever and cautious enough to keep their name out of the movie production now it seems. Their infiltration of education system and politics continues, though.
But that is a different story. On Cruise and that movie, I already mentioned that he is said to perform very well there, (not a given for me, I do not see him as a good actor necessarily), and thus said I was willing to give him a chance now. Which does not solve the principle issue of course, that a member of a totalitarian organisation plays the part of somebody who risked his life to fight totalitarianism. That's as if Arafat's greedy widow would playact mother Theresa.
