Tom Cruise
Born 3 July, 1962, in Syracuse, New York, Thomas Cruise Mapother IV is a megaton movie missile.
Phase 1: the pre-flight years, spent in the care of nomadic parents, prepping for the priesthood. Phase 2: lift-off, as the acting bug bites and Tom goes Brat Pack in The Outsiders, and kit-off in the likes of Risky Business and All The Right Moves.
Phase 3: jet-propelled in the seat of the Top Gun fighter plane and the young-sexy-cock(tail)y roles of the late 80s, alongside a marriage to Mimi Rogers. Phase 4: Cruise-control achieved during the 90s through actorly turns and big-budget blockbusters (most of which are sheer box-office gold), and exchanging Rogers for Nicole Kidman.
Phase 5: into orbit, as Nicole exits, and Tom punches clean through the stratosphere with Spielberg’s Minority Report, The Last Samurai and Collateral. And now, Phase 6: out of this world, off the planet, into deep space, etc… with War Of The Worlds, MI3, Katie Holmes as Wife #3, and an increasingly outspoken devotion to Scientology.
<b>Wise words:</b> "I have cooked turkeys in my day, but when Mom's around I let her do it."

...I never believed Tom Cruise could act before seeing this film. Dustin Hoffman portrays an autistic savant convincingly.
The USP of this movie is that it doesnt go over...
