I have never been a Cruise fan. Yes, I saw the 1st Top Gun, good movie, but Cruise was just being Cruise. This movie is the first movie that I really believed him as an ACTOR, his character is far removed from the Cruise you have known in the past. He's no Michael Caine or anything, but he has finally reached his potential. I recommend it, even if you are not a Cruise fan.

Consider watching Edge of Tomorrow. His character changes a great deal over the course if the film and his acting sells it.
For pure farce, you can't beat his role in Tropic Thunder.
Man I completely agree with you, both of those are really fun movies in my mind
