The Good, the Bad and the True Lie:

• "American Made" is a relentlessly energised and seriously fun examination of the true life story of American Airlines pilot Barry Seal, who gave up his job to become a CIA recruited pilot, and also a drug runner.

• The story of the film is heart pounding from start to finish but and it has this down to earth quality which resonates with the audiences.

• Doug Liman is a great director and that is shown very well in this film, the whole direction as a film is beautifully stylised for the time period that it covers.

• The movie is truly a wild ride and would be utterly unbelievable if it wasn't based on a true story.

• Perfectly welded with tongue in cheek and a fair pace of action, the film could have gone down the violent real life events many know about but they decided to go down the comfortable road and keep it classy.

Trivia:

• This marks as Tom Cruise's third biographical film.
