Cruise is at his finest unlikable self....at least to start off with. As with all self centered characters, redemption is always welcomed. Great love story, between 2 sets of people.....the humbling of Cruise, and his uneasy relationship with Renee, and the love of Cuba Gooding by his strong supportive wife, Regina King. Totally enjoyable movie.....get out the handkerchiefs .
Always a good movie with Jason in the cast. The beautiful Jessica Alba, and Michelle Yeoh to boot! Beautiful locations.....pretty decent plot......believable bad guys.....and tons of action. Don't need to have seen the first "Mechanic" to understand this sequel, but you should..because that one was a good movie as well, and it gives you his backstory.
"True" story of a player I never heard of before.....I guess you would have if you're from Arkansas. As biography movies go...this one was very well made. The acting was top notch, and kept your interest. It has Christian themes throughout, but doesn't preach, or knock you over the head with them. He was a devout Christian in his life, and the movie reflected his ethics. A lesson in determination, and life fulfillment, and entertaining to boot. Only one drawback....they should have had some "extras" added of the real person's game plays or interviews....would have been nice to see who the real person was.
