It is an enjoyable movie, with a really dynamic directing, but unfortunately, it doesn't innovate.

The movie would have been way better if it was able to separate from the influence of its predecessors like Lord of War and The Big Short.

The cast, in general, is playing decently, but there is zero nuance or facial expression most of the time, and the intervention "Barry Seals" when he is breaking the fourth wall are pretty useless to the plot itself, he is commenting on something that we already saw or understood.

It is not particularly a movie that I would recommend except if you want to look at all the filmography of Tom Cruise.
