I’d probably go with Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (loved JR, the follow up was just not good) though I haven’t seen Rock of Ages or Far and Away.

I started thinking about TC flicks that I’ve missed. So…
I watched The Mummy (2017). I’d heard a lot about how bad The Mummy (2017) is, but decided to try it. The Mummy (2017) pretty much sucks.
For the first 40mins I was thinking ‘ahh heck - it’s not good, but it’s got a loopy Lifeforce aspect that is close to enjoyable’. Well that feeling sadly wore off. Such a bummer really - the horribly missed chance of the whole Dark Universe thing, totally aborted with one stroke. And i realised this was Cruise’s first ‘proper’ horror movie, amazingly. (Interview/Vampire doesn’t count of course - being a gothic romance ;)
Right, quick pop quiz then: is this Cruise’s worst movie? He looks completely lost in it, in a way I don’t recall seeing him before. Even though he was horribly miscast in Interview, he owned the role and was fully engaged.
Bummer all round! Don’t bother with The Mummy (2017)!

And that second Jack Reacher is pretty boring. Is that that the one that’ll where the final boss fight just ends with them sort of falling off a first floor balcony?

Very weak sauce - as I say, love the first one and didn’t have the same beef many had with casting famous short arse TC in the role (though I did also enjoy the recent series where they rebooted him with a towering lunk who apparently is closer to author Child’s description. I do recommend, it’s a very easy watch)ScoJo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 21, 2022 2:07 pm Right, quick pop quiz then: is this Cruise’s worst movie?

Kidding aside I honestly have seen him in 3 movies, Dune, Bones & All and French Dispatch. French Dispatch I pretty much hated and he was in the worst segment, he was fine but not particularly good either? Dune, well I don't think it's anything against him but almost any one could have played that role if they can hold an emotionless face for extended periods of time. I've got nothing against him but outside of Bones & All I haven't seen him in anything that makes me excited to see him. So he's just another young pretty face. Give me a few more roles like Bones and I'll be excited to see him in just about anything though
Sort of baffled by the boards seeming dislike of Timothy Chalamet, I quite like him in everything I’ve seen him in but to each their own I suppose, loved him in dune, loved him in French dispatch, enjoyed him in the King, definitely want to check out bones and all for sure, looked interesting from the trailers I saw and Michael stuhlburg is one of those character scores that just VANISHES into a roll, same with Mark Rylance.
Recently done:
Glass onion, thought it was a lot of fun
Bullet Train, I enjoyed it.
The invitation, y’all can decline this one, not good.
Clerks III, if you’re still in for the ride you know what to expect, although I wasn’t ready for how poignant it ended up being.
The Menu- man am i upset I missed this in theaters, what an absolute blast of a film and I wish I’d seen it with a crowd. Absolutely HOWLED with laughter. I’d nominate Fiennes for it, the work he does with his face alone. What a treat of a movie.
