The trailer for the first movie coming out of United Artists after Tom Cruise took the helm is quite gripping. Besides Cruise, the film features the inarguable acting talents of Robert Redford and Merrill Streep.

I don’t want to see this movie and I don’t want to like it. This is personal. I deeply dislike and distrust Tom Cruise. He is an egotistical zealot who is being guided by the unseen hands of an evil cult. That is just my opinion, he could actually be a really nice guy.

The cumulative star power and the politically charged subject matter mean that this movie will make money. The only thing that I can preemptively criticize is the fact that they pulled their punches as far as creating characters that are analogous to the present key players in American politics. I have to admit that both of the top guys make for pretty awful movie characters.
