a5c7b9f00b Barry Seal was just an ordinary pilot who worked for TWA before he was recruited by the CIA in 1978. His work in South America eventually caught the eye of the Medellín Cartel, associated with Pablo Escobar, who needed a man with his skill set. Barry became a drug trafficker, gun smuggler and money launderer. Soon acquiring the title, &#39;The gringo that always delivers&#39;. In 1978, the skilled and ambitious TWA pilot Barry Seal smuggles Cuban cigars to increase his income. Out of the blue, he is contacted by the CIA agent Monty Schafer, who asks him to work for the CIA photographing facilities over Central America using a state-of-art small plane. Soon Barry contacts General Noriega as a courier for the CIA and is contacted by the Medellin Cartel that wants him to transport drugs to the USA. Then Schafer asks Barry to carry weapons for the Contras in Nicaragua. Barry invites pilots that are his friends and plots routes to smuggle drugs for the cartel. The CIA closes eyes to the scheme and Barry becomes richer and richer. He uses the Arkansas town Mena to launder his money. But the DEA and the FBI are tracking him down. When the CIA shuts down the scheme, Barry is left alone and arrested by the agencies. What will happen to his family and him? I entered the movie theatre expecting movie similar to the Wolf of Wall Street, American Gangster, Lord Of War etc. These are landmark films, which have developed a cult following over time. It did help that the movie starred international Superstar Tom Cruise - a star renowned for his action flicks. We were expecting a high dose of action &amp; drama. Biopics have a good chance of succeeding if a lot of time has been devoted to researching the principal character &amp; having a tight script in place.The makers have devoted good amount of time researching the life of Barry Seal - the CIA agent, who also ferried cocaine for the Medellin cartel of Pablo Escobar &amp; it shows. But they falter in scripting the life journey of Barry Seal. Although a lot of exciting things may have happened during the life &amp; times of Barry Seal, it is not shown in a manner which excites the audience. It feels more like a plain jane reportage of the events that happened in Barry Seal&#39;s life. The director has to be blamed for not building up the excitement like Martin Scorcese did in Wolf Of Wall Street or the way Lord Of War starring Nicholas Cage was made. The film does show a lot of improvement in the second half. It is one of the movies which has a better second half. The second half feels a tad bit similar to Lord Of War, but it still does keep you engrossed till the end. Tom Cruise is convincing in his role. We were a bit let down by the character playing Pablo Escobar. Netflix has set the benchmark for how the legendary Medellin drug cartel boss has to be portrayed. You expect Pablo Escobar to be a menacing character who very mention makes people shudder. But the guy playing Pablo in this movie seems like a caricature of the Netflix version. The makers probably did not want the attention to shift away from Tom Cruise! We weren&#39;t bored while watching the movie, but the movie lacked the adrenaline inducing, end of the seat ride that other aforementioned movies in the genre offer. A lot of people will probably will watch the movie, but what could have been an Oscar winning performance by Cruise is reduced to just another caper. Do we ever fully comprehend how stupid or incompetent our own government can be?<br/><br/>Doug Liman, Tom Cruise, and company do Barry Seal justice in this movie.<br/><br/>Tom Cruise does a lot of actual flying in this. Good for him. Nice to see.<br/><br/>While it might be the most important Hollywood film of 2017, American Made is not perfect.<br/><br/>First off, the wife character is not fleshed out enough. She seems just ancillary and undeveloped compared to the equivalent role in Wolf of Wall Street. Was there more left on the cutting room floor because it wasn&#39;t any good or was it just written this way? I can&#39;t say one way or the other if this actress had the chops to pull off an expanded part, but there&#39;s a disappointing lack of much attempt to give us more meat here.<br/><br/>This version of Seal has more of the CIA stuff in it than the Hopper film that not only left most of that out but attempted to make the DEA look blameless to over-the-top &amp; embarrassing levels. American Made fibs a bit on how Seal left TWA, still doesn&#39;t go back far enough on Seal&#39;s actual agency connections, distorts the sequence of events of how Seal got into drug trafficking, and then fibs again at the end on the exact sequence of events when the Reagan administration outed him during their attempts to convince Congress to fund the Contras. <br/><br/>Seal was far more connected to the agency and for much longer than the Hopper film shows, with the DEA affiliation occurring later to keep him out of jail that the Hopper film does show. However, he was not conned into drug running due to his connections to the agency and he had a much longer history with both the agency and drugs than American Made portrays. The two, drugs and covert ops, simply went hand-in-hand and had been occurring for some time along with the gunrunning on their behalf. At least as far back as Vietnam, with some indications Seal was involved with the Bay of Pigs. The administration did indeed put his life in jeopardy, though it was not in such a visual manner as in this film.<br/><br/>I will also add that there are many further allegations not covered in this movie of the Clintons&#39; complicity in CIA operations through Arkansas that explain some of Hillary Clinton&#39;s later bizarre agenda of continuing to promote revolutions around the world during the 2016 campaign, not to mention various other questionable deeds that have been revealed through Wikileaks.<br/><br/>There are also some odd connections between Obama&#39;s family and the agency, as well, which might explain some of the backlash against Trump from the intelligence community for him being an un-vetted, unconnected outsider with no prior affiliation or loyalty to them. You&#39;d just had Reagan, Bush senior (former DCI), Bill Clinton, Bush Jr (who is portrayed here by the perfectly-cast Connor Trinneer), and now Obama in a row. Couldn&#39;t have been easy for the community to stomach. You don&#39;t need a conspiracy to have aligned interests, past connections, and sharp elbows resulting in new friction.<br/><br/>Oh, you might also want to go back and watch Blow after this. Carlos Lehder was helping the CIA out, too, and probably knew Seal was already CIA from the beginning of Seal&#39;s involvement with the Medellin cartel. It starts to explain why the cartel was so trustful of Seal even with his legal troubles and then went out of their way to try and involve the Sandinistas in drug smuggling if you have Lehder pushing for it and Seal there to help. Lehder is now in &quot;protective custody&quot; in the US federal prison system under an assumed identity.<br/><br/>Will the USA ever get the equivalent of Truth and Reconciliation as those supposedly inferior nations around the world have been achieving as they surpass us in justice and honesty? Probably not, but we get a small taste of it at least in our arts like here in American Made. Liman mines the story for familiar but fun comedy...though it never reaches the comedic heights of rise-and-fall classics such as Goodfellas or The Wolf of Wall Street.
