a5c7b9f00b The story of Barry Seal, an American pilot who became a drug-runner for the CIA in the 1980s in a clandestine operation that would be exposed as the Iran-Contra Affair. 1978. Barry Seal, an airline pilot, is recruited by the CIA to fly special transport missions in Central America. Initially it is a matter of information-for-supplies but ultimately he ends up being a drug transporter for Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel and supplying anti-Communist groups, including the Nicaraguan Contras, with weapons. Sure, Tom Cruise can be macho anytime he wants, this time in a happy-go-lucky fashion and pulls it off believably. Based on the true story of Barry Seal, a TWA pilot that didn't hide his flash and flare. To avoid jail time for dropping smuggled drugs from South America in the United States, Seal becomes an informant for the Drug Enforcement Administration and begins running drugs for the CIA and getting involved in the Iran-Contra Affair in the 1980's. Very interesting and a soundtrack featuring: Talking Heads, Hot Chocolate, Allman Brothers Band, Linda Ronstadt, Charlie Rich and George Harrison.<br/><br/>Also in the cast: Domhnall Gleeson, Sarah Wright, Benito Martinez, Fredy Yate Escobar, Mauricio Mejia, Alejandro Edda, Caleb Landry Jones, Jayma Mays and Robert Farrior. He takes a bunch of crap from the general public, but he is a very hard worker and rarely doesnt bring his A game. My biggest issue with the film is the filters used. It seems they were hiding cheap CGI at times. The film has just about enough going on around its anti-hero to sustain the interest and land its punchline, and there are signs Liman (a Cruise veteran since “Edge of Tomorrow”) is solving the enduring problem of making a Cruise film that’s not wholly about its leading man.
