5 Strangely Underrated tc Tom Cruise Movies
TC Tom Cruise has been acting since he was a teenager- with small roles in
the early 80's -until his first leading role in the�1983 romcom�Risky
Business.
Where he's gone on to have been nominated for 3 academy
awards and has won 3 golden globes.
While he's starred in some of the highest grossing movies of all time - he's
also been in some pretty bad ones and some underrated ones too
So today I'm going to be covering all those Tom Cruise movies - that in my
opinion deserved a lot more credit and attention from critics and audiences
alike
Oblivion the Action mystery sci-fi directed by Joseph Kosinski
Follows Jack, One of the few remaining drone repairmen assigned to Earth.
Where the planet's surface has been devastated after decades of war with
an alien race.
After discovering a crashed spacecraft with contents that
brings to question everything jack believed about the war.
He begins to
question what he knows about his mission and himself.
While the films start is a little slow, it still throws in some moments of
concern to keep you on the edge.
It keeps moving at a good pace -where
you have a sci-fi with a basic love theme, mixed with elements of
mystery.��And Tom Cruises natural charisma carries the movie through
some of its slower sections, especially the beginning.�
While it's not going to become a sci-fi classic -oblivion has a solid story
with good acting as well as being visually stunning.
It's action scenes are
pretty intense and it has a fairly decent plot twist -so what's not to love?
Director Cameron Crowe's romance mystery - Vanilla Sky
The story follows a vain publishing entrepreneur -who takes all he has for
granted; his wealth, his inherited company, and especially his relationships.
It catches up to him after a vehicular accident with a resentful lover.
From
that point onwards, the movie takes a twist that literally pulls us into his
tortured psyche.
Vanilla Sky has a lot of philosophical undertones to it, and many similar
ideas and stories like this occur in historical philosophy.
It's a movie that
make you reflect on life and how you live it.
Where its premise focuses
on the specific issue of - you can't appreciate the better things in life, until
you have experienced the bad.
It's one of those movies that's made in such a way that each time you see it, you will
catch something new.
Sure, the theme becomes obvious after the second watch, and the film does
have that Hollywoodish feeling to it, but it's still a good movie.
James Mangolds Action comedy romance - Knight and Day
Where a normal woman's life becomes mixed up with a secret agent, who
while trying to clear his name -soon realises he's not supposed to have
survive his latest mission.
As Roy and June try their best to stay alive,
they learn that -all they can count on is each other.
This film hits all the beats you�d expect from an action romcom, it has the
well constructed action sequences, plenty of chases, and a plot that moves
forward with purpose, for the most part.
TC Cruise and Diaz have great
chemistry, where there comedy timing is pretty tight with their delivery of
the ongoing spy jokes.
Knight and day is a very fun, charming and occasionally funny film, Its
action and plot are very tongue in cheek where it doesn't take its self too
seriously - while some people may find it a bit too cheesy for their taste, I
think it's a pretty enjoyable feel good film.
Tony Scott's classic action drama romance - Top Gun
Follows Navy pilot Lt Mitchell who is sent to Miramar Naval Air Station for
advanced training.
Here he vies with Tom Iceman Kasansky for the
prestigious "Top Gun" award.
After a fatal accident with his co-pilot,
Mitchell fears he may have lost his nerve, but is given a chance to redeem
himself during a tense international crisis involving enemy jets.
The movie that elevated Tom cruise to stardom - Top Gun may be cheesy
and not logical at all times, But it's entertaining and always exciting, where
there hardly any boring parts if any.�
It's defiantly one of those movies you hate yourself for loving . Mind you,
it's insanely quotable, with beautiful cinematography both on the ground
and in the air, and has some of the most memorable performances of the
80's.�
Roger Donaldson's romance drama - Cocktail
After being discharged from the Army, Brian Flanagan moves back to New
York and takes a job in a bar.
He quickly becomes a patron favourite with
his flair bartending skills, and decides to work in Jamaica in order to save
money for his own bar, where he meets a woman called Jordan and falls in
love.
Cocktail really is a movie you will either love or hate but for it to get 5%
on Rotten Tomatoes is pretty extreme - It starts out fun but does get a
little dreary towards the end.
where some would say the movies journey is
not fulfilling.
Tom Cruise convincingly portrays a shallow -self centred man
with a lot of lessons to learn.
It's no classic, but it�s Cocktails neon-tinted eighties charm and synth
soundtrack, that makes it pretty watchable.
If you like a cheesy, plastic
80's films, then give it watch - otherwise stay far away.
