- 1978. Barry Seal, an airline pilot, is recruited by the CIA to fly special transport missions in Central America. Initially it is a matter of information-for-supplies but ultimately he ends up being a drug transporter for Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel and supplying anti-Communist groups, including the Nicaraguan Contras, with weapons.
- The story of Barry Seal, an American pilot who became a drug-runner for the CIA in the 1980s in a clandestine operation that would be exposed as the Iran-Contra Affair.

Told in a very light-hearted, fun way it is a roller-coaster ride of humour and action. The humour stems largely from the ineptness and unintended consequences of the actions of the CIA and US government. If told in a more serious way, this would have been a very damning indictment of the US's involvement in Central America in the 1980s, and a powerful examination of how the CIA and US government abuse the loyalty of their own citizens. <br/><br/>However, the story is told as a comedy, with absurdity piled upon absurdity, so difficult to believe. Just as well, as, in actual fact, much of what is described is fictional. In particular, the real Barry Seal was hardly a paragon of virtue and only ended up working with the US Government once he was facing jail time.<br/><br/>Still, an entertaining story, regardless of its accuracy.
- Let me start out by acknowledging that "American Made" was not a true story. People, the Millenium Falcon never actually made the Kessel Run either. I'd rather they hadn't mucked the movie up with their anti-Reagan/anti-Oliver North trope, but it's Hollywood. What can you expect?<br/><br/>Still, the movie was great. Cruise WAS that guy. He sweated when he should have sweated. He smiled that impish smile. He made the "how am I going to deal with all this cash" scenes seem believable. How could you not like that guy and sympathyze with his fate?<br/><br/>In addition to Tom, the movie was beautifully cast. The CIA guy, though the character was not believable, was played to the hilt. Even the non-speaking 15 year-old girl who the exquisitely weaselly brother-in-law picked up was perfect. I can still see her posture.<br/><br/>This film was was different from "Knight and Day," but every bit as entertaining. You should watch both of them (twice).
- It’s a breezy trip for the star, making ample use of his usual charisma, urgency, grin and gift of the gab, though the late ’70s/early ’80s-set film doesn’t completely hit the mark.
