トップ・ガン: 異端者

As the czar was to Russia, それで トムクルーズ することです トップ・ガン: 異端者, the soaring, roaring sequel to his hit movie from more than 30 数年前. Movie and star are inseparable. It’s hard to guess whether Cruise, 今 60, even knows that he isn’t Pete “異端者” ミッチェル, so firm is his grip on the role, his command of the camera and his commitment to his own remarkable stardom. Your Brad Pitts, your George Clooneys, your Dwayne Johnsons — these are also great leading men of the day, but they acknowledge, with a wink or a joke or a light dusting of irony, that their films are just projects, not Herculean expressions of the will. That has not been Cruise’s approach — not even in misfires like 2001’s Vanilla Sky — because that would cheapen his persona, which is virile without necessarily being erotic. He’s determined to repay ticket-buyers in full for their investment. And he does. 異端者, a big, burnished, turbocharged engine of a movie, so far has earned $1.4 世界で10億.

The plot’s logic is subservient to its star’s cocky charisma. Maverick routinely thumbs his nose at his superiors, yet they all begrudgingly revere him. Sent to instruct a class of fighter pilots for a dangerous overseas mission, he ends up (もちろん) the only man capable of leading them all and doing America a solid. Cruise’s performance is so concretely, confidently physical that doubts are banished from the get-go. This is top-grade Hollywood entertainment.

The Banshees of Inisherin

Tár
