Tom Cruise playing Graf Stauffenberg?

Tchocky · 03-26-07, 04:03 PM

Hmm, I'll watch it anyway. Cruise is a decent actor, nothing stellar, but if there's a solid script (example, Minority Report, Magnolia) he's quite good. Bryan Singer has a good track record with The Usual Suspects, and the first X-Men flick, but this will depend on the screenplay.
Cruise's Scientology is irrelevant, I don't get the comparison y'all are making with Nazism/fascism. Both are forced upon people against their will, but there's a significant difference in scale. Anyway, like I said, irrelevant.

He was spectacular in Collateral.

I liked him in The last Sumurai, Subman War of the Worlds is a great movie for a remake classic. He played a hitman well in Collateral.

Would like to see how he acts in a Braveheart type movie.:hmm:

Dont get Eyes Wide Shut!

Actually I liked Eyes Wide Shut very much. Beside 2001 and Shining, it is the one Kubrick movie i like best (while I like Spartacus - uninteresting - and Clockwork Orange - boring - not at all, and Dr. Strangelove is so-la-la but having some funny moments).

Cruise is Mr. Top Gun forever to me - and not much more.

Scientology is an aggressively spreading, inhumane, totalitarian ideology, aiming at controlling and exploiting people and aggressively trying to infiltrate structures of economical, educational and political power and influence. As such it ranks amongst Skybird's four most favourite enemies to mankind. If I had the power, I would deal most unforgiving with them.

Can anyone remember the title of this film as it's driving me nuts circular 1980's It's start off with troops swarming into government buildings in Berlin hunting down the conspirators after the July 44 plot fails then the film jumps back to late 1942 in North Africa.

Tom Cruise playing the role of a failure. That role is probably not too large of a strech for him.

Haha, Tom Cruise may be a douche... but he certainly isn't a failure.

And while I don't like Tom Cruise, I just can't hate Top Gun
