American Made: Blu Ray Review

American Made: Blu Ray Review

Tom Cruise packs on the charm in this hybrid of the recent War Dogs and Narcos which is based on a true story.

American Made: Film Review

Cruise stars as Barry Seal, a TWA pilot in the late 70s who's so bored with work, he deliberately causes turbulence to amuse and irritate in equal measure. Spotted running contraband by CIA spook Schafer (Domhnall Gleeson), he's offered to come work for the good guys.

Recruited as a reconnaisance pilot snapping pictures of Central America, Seal is soon inducted into both sides of the conflict after being spotted by Pablo Escobar's rising cartel. Shot down and offered the chance to run drugs from Colombia into the US, Seal soon finds himself entangled and playing both sides for plentiful fiscal reward.

But Seal's life is further complicated when he's forced to run guns into Nicaragua at Schafer's behest after being busted with the drugs...

Dialling down the mega-watt grin and over-enthusiasm plays greatly to American Made's charm and ensures that the unfolding story of a man trapped in his own bastardisation of the American dream.

Sure, Seal knows what he's doing and there's no Sopranos-esque anti-hero at play here - and Cruise and his returning Edge of Tomorrow director Liman are smart enough to know that holding back and concentrating on the apparently true story is the way to go with this piece.

Packing in adegree of incredulity and playing matters straight as well as threading in news reports from the time give the film a shaggy dog edge that's ripped straight from the pages of the "It's so crazy it couldn't be true."

However, it also helps that Cruise never once feels like he's acting, imbuing Seal with a degree of humanity and vulnerability as he finds himself ingratiated in the world within.

While it's fair to say some of the surrounding edges never quite rise as perhaps they are hinted at earlier on (the local sheriff, the hillbilly wastrel brother-in-law) when the action of American Made concentrates on cruise's Seal and the tightening vice of his amoral attitude the film's more than a pleasant surprise.

It's very much a romp, brought to life with the breath of its lead actor and the seamless energy of its direction - and it may actually surprise you as it weaves its tale of criminally-led derring do.

Above all, it will remind you of the sheer charisma and power of Tom Cruise when he's not over-performing.

If anything, dialling it down and playing the role to hand instead of anything more packs American Made with a tremendous coke-fuelled joie de vivre and reason to view it. 

Call of Duty WWII: PS4 Review

Call of Duty WWII: PS4 Review

Developed by Sledgehammer Games
Published by Activision
Platform: PS4

The annual Call of Duty release is a thing many are passionate about.

From its first person shooter days to the multiplayer and subsequent side campaigns, the game's a much anticipated event that still manages to enthrall as many as it does.

This time, the World War II setting gives Call of Duty a sense of place and time, thanks to some excellently visualised maps and created environments to fight in.

The latest iteration of the game feels in many ways like it's gone back to basics, with a core gameplay attitude of taking on the opposition and keeping things simple.

Its campaign follows the 1st infantry division as they take part in various battles on the European front. It's your typical war story with a infantryman brought in to the earlier combats and finding his feet - progression is as you'd expect and there are elements of the cinematic in the game, as well as the emotional.

Interestingly the campaign becomes more about survival than slaughter - and this is something which is lost a little in the multiplayer (though the server's proved difficult finding games with that in COD WWII's early days).

Multiplayer is the usual frantic boots-on-the-ground scramble you'd expect with hints of carnage in among the trying to achieve your various goals. Whilst it may be that occasionally you respawn too far away from the game itself, and you can frustratingly be picked off before you'd expect to be, there's much to admire in the solid execution of the multiplayer itself, even if the game occasionally doesn't want you to get amongst it thanks to server problems.

Nazi zombies arise and arrive in the new co-op mode and again, this offers a lot of thrills to the player looking to follow and shoot where necessary. It's a welcome return for the sub-genre of the game and there'll be much for the fan to engage with.

Ultimately, Call of Duty WWII feels like a solid and playable entry into the canon.

There's an emotional depth in the campaign that's interesting and an engaging level of play throughout - it may feel like Call of Duty WWII is the franchise going back to its roots, but just because it does, doesn't mean that Sledgehammer Games have jettisoned everything that's been learned along the way.
