I decided to watch this movie because Tom Cruise was in it, but little did I know what I was in for.

Now, I can't claim to have much interest in the drug trade history of America, so the story here appealed only very little to me. But I still stuck with the movie to the end.

This was nowhere near being one of the best of Tom Cruise movies to be honest. Sure, he was putting on a great performance, but the storyline was just working as an anchor here. I believe that the movie was based on real events, which just didn't help to boost the movie's appeal for me.

I will say that they had a fairly good ensemble of acting performers together for the movie, though I didn't even recognize most of them. That was a good thing, because I do like seeing new actors and actresses in movies, as they are not already instantly associated with other movies or roles they have done before.

This is the type of movie that you watch once and never again, because it just doesn't have enough contents to support multiple viewings.
