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, 'The gringo that always
delivers'. Written by Viir khubchandani (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)
AMERICAN MADE has made me rethink my thoughts on films based
on true stories. I say that maybe because it is in the manner in which the
retelling matters to me. AMERICAN MADE the retelling is a rumpus and daring
tale, which made the film that much better as much as what was going on was
already truly unbelievable. Tom Cruise (Barry Seal) was great in this film transcending
his mega movie star status and really becoming the character. So for AMERICAN
MADE I give it 4.5 stars of 5.
